[ale] [OT] Diebold voting machines

[Greg Freemyer]

Not quite right.

They typically only count the absentees if they can swing the election.

So if it is 100,000 for candidate A and 110,000 for candidate B in the
live poll, then they will only count the absentees if there are 10,000
or more of them.
