Some people are arguing over the term ‘fraud’ saying intent is needed. Well, both correcting your own count instead of reporting the discrepency apparently doesn’t signal any intent. Asking for sign off from an observer without allowing them to witness anything apparently doesn’t signal intent...
Here is your smoking gun. The machine tally does not match the hand count tally. The official, instead of doing anything about that, simply adjusts her hand count to match the machine. THAT IS FRAUD. Not a mistake, not a slip up, not a co*k up, not lazy, not anything other than FRAUD.
