The criminal investigation hand-count has begun in Arizona. In the lead-up to the count the Attorney General spoke about Internet feed of video from the counting room. It's a good thing he didn't say the count would be public or the process would be transparent. Yes, there are cameras in the area and yes they are streaming live via the Internet.
