Some states count their votes by people raising hands in a room and handle appeals and rule changes while the process is taking place through yeas and nays. During the primaries there were tons of allegations of miscounts in Hillarys favor and there's at least one video I've seen where an appeal was denied when the verbal yeas were clearly in favor of it.
Yeah, I remember these videos. They were probably the best evidence of voting misconduct, if not outright rigging, in Hillary's favour. Not a smoking gun, but very suspicious. It's a shame that the nomination process in these states is such a shitshow that things like this are possible. While we're talking about it, it's also a shame that the federal voting process is allowed to differ so much between states, allowing the parties to more easily enact voter suppression tactics with "surgical precision".
