It's a hard world for little things.

Yeah, that's kind of the whole point of doing these recounts, there's a belief that the electronic side has been tampered with.
More than that it's worth pointing out that the whole ostensible basis for Bush v Gore was that a recount in which the recount methodology varied by district (due to different types of ballot and voting machine) was inherently unconstitutional, per equal protection. That was the 7-2 part of the decision, and the more well-known 5-4 part was based on the belief that no recount methodology passing constitutional muster could be devised before the statutory deadline for a final result.

If anyone cares to continue to push the issue it'll be interesting to see how a WI recount (or any recount at all) can be harmonized with Bush v Gore if there are any contested ballots/votes/whatever at all.
