Why, there are votes everywhere! Even on flash drives!

Divine providence, no doubt.

LBJ looked down and smiled.

I wonder what the share of those "found" votes for each candidate is.

Fraud is pretty easy to detect. I’m sure people here could just look at results on line and compare to 2016 to see if there is a whiff of an issue. Surprised the article didn’t do that for us. Hmmmm

Let us assume it is not fraud. What in the world would ballots be doing on a flash drive?

Well, now you're just being silly.

I dunno why ballots are on flash drives either. But errors happen all over the country- here’s an example of another one:

The guy won after conceding.

“We noticed the local clerk’s mistake (on Thursday) and corrected it. The county canvass process works, and the correct results are now on our website,” Rozell said.

And the process worked apparently without regard to politics. A Republican city clerk supervised a vote count that wrongly gave victory to a Democrat, after which a Democratic county clerk's staff caught the error and requested a correction from the Republican city clerk, handing the win to a Republican..

He can un-concede, can't he? Al Gore did it (albeit unsuccesfully).

Maybe that’s how they are sent in. Otherwise you have a major point.

Mark your paper ballot
Scan it
Save scan on flash drive
Transmit flash drive to state HQ

Just a guess, but that is how I voted in VA, mark the paper, then scan it
