Not true. Election judges from major parties are recruited for election day, and work in teams made of major parties when sensitive work is done at the polls. These are the judges who have been invited to help with the recount. In the recount, it is true that only one judge has been doing the actual sorting into Franken, Coleman, and Other piles, with an observer from each campaign on either side. But two judges, of opposite parties, count the sorted ballots into groups of 25.
