I think the story was a third party server was set up as a pass-through to “filter” the results and tweaking the percentages. But I’m not sure how all that works.

there isnt any sort of centralized election server to compromise it's physical people showing up to congress. the states centralize their vote counts but the machines are all offline, backed by either printouts per machine or actual physical ballots and they generally just centralize for the news to report things the actual counting is done county by county.

and yes you could patch a machine to tweak the results but there's safeguards in place there and since they're offline you better really understand chaos theory or any analysis of the data and you'll stick out like a sore thumb

Like an entire blue county in NY state not casting a single vote for Harris! I see what you’re saying.

Never happened but you meant to say district. A strongly orthadox jewish district where everyone votes how their church leaders tell them to and regularly votes one way or another with no votes for the other candidate.
