The auditors aren't saying any ballots are missing - that would be huge news. They're saying more ballots were received than mailed out. The county says those extra ballots were in-person early voting.

That sounds plausible but it has to be squared against the in-person voting numbers the county originally reported. I'm assuming the auditors will do that.

That's exactly my point. If the extra mail-in ballots were actually from the early in-person voting, then they should have that same number of ballots missing from the number of people who early-voted in person. But no one ever noticed they were missing (correct?), so how did 74M ballots get added to one place, when they apparently were never subtracted from the other in the first place? I would think having a couple hundred ballots missing would have been noticeable and reported a while ago. Much less tens of thousands missing.

I suspect the county will say there never were any missing ballots.

They always knew those 74k were early in- person ballots and their numbers match.
