Figures on Winnebago County's website are now different from those collected by the AP.

Nice way of saying they may have lied?

Not really. This happens all the time—counties have to add up all of the precinct totals, and sometimes they transpose two numbers or something. One of the biggest screw-ups of that ilk was when Baldwin County, AL (an overwhelmingly GOP county in the Mobile suburbs) missed a digit or something and underreported GOP Gov. Riley’s total by 10,000 votes IIRC, so Riley beat the incumbent Democrat Gov. Seligman who had appeared to have survived narrowly on election night.
