What I mean by "salting coefficients" looks like this. Let's say before election day you tell it to multiply every Biden vote by 1.1 and every Trump vote by 0.9. That would basically add 10% to Biden's vote totals and remove 10% from Trump's vote totals. Thus, Trump would have to win more than 20% of the real votes in your state to barely win the bogus totals reported as "official" counts.
