That's worth saying twice. It's a three-pronged effort:
1.) The real votes are cast by the voting machines.
2.) The paper ballots are meant to shore up the fake machine-created votes.
3.) The padded registration rolls are to shore up the extra paper ballots.
But we tend to think of it backwards because TIME-WISE, it starts with the registration rolls, or at least that's what we see first. But that's just what teachers call "backward planning." Start with the end in mind.
