Reply #44: Count the ballots... then compare with the number of voters who voted.

Auditing elections involves ballot accounting, or comparing the number of ballots to the number of voters who voted. They should be the same.

The campaign cannot and should not be distracted by the "data" on her PC. The back-up for that data is ALWAYS the paper ballots COMPARED WITH the voter sign-in sheets from election day. Hopefully the ballots have been impounded and now should be hand counted, then compared with the tallies of the voters that signed in to vote on election day. Absentees and overseas ballots as well. I'd be real curious to know what the security measures for the ballots are in that county.

Her PC's data should absolutely be examined, but the true vote count of the ballots should EQUAL or be the same as the sign-in books (or whatever means they use to check-in voters on election day). If the counts don't match and are significantly more or less than the number of voters that signed in, then that's a big red flag.

THIS is the beauty of paper ballots and why we fought so hard for them.
