Election Day 2016: How Are Votes Counted?
The candidates have been chosen, you've filled in the circles and dropped the envelope in the mailbox or ballot box, and you are now one of the millions of Americans who have cast a vote for president.
But from those millions of single votes, how do election officials determine who will be the next president of the United States of America?
It turns out, there may be nearly as many ways to count votes as there are voting precincts — and there are 8,000 precincts, said Edward Foley, an election expert at the Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University.

How Are Votes Counted?
For democrats it is finding “missing” ballots in a northern Minnesota town. You end up with Al Franken.
Or 2 million extra votes in 1 county aka Los Angeles from illegals or just stuffing ballots.
The author seems to be an academic who interviewed people in the establishment who may not personally be crooked; but don’t want to admit the flaws. And most of those flaws are not in the ballot or computers.
Most of the flaws are in lying, cheating humans.
The author seems to have no experience in the real world.
He seems to have no experience in real precincts, nor in real counting rooms. Most importantly, he seems to have no real experience with how Sen Dodd’s HAVA-Help America Vote Act has shaped the computer hardware and software since 2001.
Any way the progressives what them counted.
Yes finding “missing ballots” can definitely change an election, but it’s absolutely impossible for a foreign government to “hack” an election. How would you do that? You would have to hack each precinct which would be impossible as a lot of them have paper ballots. If you hacked at the state count, it would be detected as the precinct and county count would not add up to the state count. But like you said, if fake ballots were created and added to the precincts then it would be virtually undetectable unless someone blew the whistle. Do we have Russians in this country working 100,000 voting machines? That isn’t “hacking” though the way the Rats and RINOs are suggesting. They are suggesting Trump colluded with the Russians to hack the election. How? How can they get access to 100,000 voting machines?
When a party have controlled a city for generations they have all their cronies, relatives and friends working in city hall. They are nothing but a political mafia. They know many ways to cheat and if they have to they can have ballots that have been filled out ahead of time .
If you have no shame, the world is yours.
