Perez should just stand down and build a stronger profile in the assembly. In the end this is all just a run for governor or the Senate anyway.
Perez should do nothing of the sort. Why should it take 5 months to recount ballots? That's a scandal in itself. Additional staff should be hired, if necessary.
This recount is not even statewide, which is crap. No recount should be anything but jurisdiction-wide. Partial recounts of a candidate's favorable counties should be avoided. It treats some voters as more special than others, worthy of having their votes recounted but not others, violating equal protection.
