The US election outcomes are decided around September 1 of the election year.
This gives adequate time for the precise number of ballots to be printed.
A predetermined number of blank ballots are sent to the polling location (or, electronic access to ‘print’ them) while the remainder remain either at the printer’s storage (warehouse) or in the hands of the election officials.
In order to come to the already established result, these ballots are completed (in various ways), in the proper number to affect the outcome.
There are always some pre-printed and/or blank ballots left over, in case they are needed.
When the election is announced “over”, all excess ballots (both blank and pre-printed) are destroyed immediately.
Or, ‘lost’ in a fire at either the printer’s are officials storage areas.
Also, at any given time, several impact “impact” ballots are in the possession of “official” election workers for last minute heroics (unrecalled ballots in the trunk of a car).
State Legislatures MUST require chain-of-custody documentation for ALL ballots and We the People must be insistent on “count every legal vote” instead of knee-jerking to the “count every vote” as if ALL votes are legal.
Oh, and the magic number of extra ballots will be the “Dominion ranked” difference of 0.327%.
Mike Lindell has proven this number several times across Dom-machines used in several precincts in several states (Antrim County MI being one).
Check to outcomes in vote totals.
Problem is the corrupt states, and corrupt counties even in “good” states.
Until one day for voting, in person, with ID, paper ballots, not machines... elections won’t matter.
