This flies in the face of the testimony. One of the people in charge of absentee ballots admitted that when they couldn't reconcile the numbers they made up a number. That is neither "inadvertent" OR "innocent". It may have been their best honest guess, but not accidental, and they knew it did not represent the actual vote tallies...it was dishonest to certify a number they knew they fabricated.
It is also evident that other county auditors found errors, but did not certify their results until their errors were reconciled. This is something that King County election officials failed to do even though they knew better.
