I put goatprairie on "ignore" some time back, and that's where he will remain.
Too many comrade citizens in this thread are missing the point.
One goal of The Party's "underground election apparatus" is to create enough ballots (in advance of Election Day) so that as many as needed can be drawn "from the reserves" to overload the system.
It's not that "the counting of the ballots" was in error. Indeed, the audit seems to indicate that the pre-audit and post-audit tallies are so close as to be all-but "the same".
However, the apparatus was SUCCESSFUL in that it "loaded down" the system with 50,000+ ballots that (in themselves) may be "creations" of the apparatus, and NOT "of actual voters".
There wasn't going to be enough time to validate these immediately after the election, and any attempt to set them aside would have been met with cries to "Count Every Vote!!!!"
The auditors to their credit were successful in detecting many of these (see the numbers posted in reply 21 above). But consider how long it took them to do so.
Those ballots may be "suspect", but it's of little practical matter now.
They were "counted" on Election Day.
And THAT'S what matters when the apparatus is working properly, fellow comrades.
Lesson concluded!
