So it’s a fishing expedition to try to find something... anything else?
As I understand it - imbalances like this are common and usually due to human error like not being properly recorded and are extremely unlikely to be an indicator of any sort of fraud.
A mail in voting envelope comes in, without a voting slip inside - there you go, that’s an imbalance - 1 vote received & 0 vote counted.
The audit is ultimately to explain these 34 vote discrepancies.
Yes, but you don't know the explanation beforehand, so that's why you need to check every possible cause by doing a full audit. It's a fishing expedition, but she has used the clever excuse of this had happened too many times and it's time to sort it out once and for all. You can't reasonably say no to that, yet you seem not to have a care in the world that they have said no.
