@looking5452 @LuceenMatt the results per precinct are available online within hours of polls closing and all the parties & candidates analyze the results- especially if it's a close race. I scroll them all a few times after each election bec one of my duties is to double check that what I called in is what shows up on the website. There just aren't discrepancies that large- turnout is +/-5% in each precinct, the results track pretty close to previous elections and demographics. If there *were* significant anomalies the loser affected by them can raise a complaint before the election is certified... election officials would look into it and presumably pull out the paper ballots from where they're locked in the courthouse and recount w machine / by paper to verify that the ballots actually say what was reported.
