I think the point is that the system thought there was 276 registered voters. The system was clearly wrong, and was only corrected after the lawsuit.

- PeterisP 8y agoBut that system is not the one who cares about if the voter is registered, nor does it know who has arrived in front of it - that's checked by the officials before that. It only counts anonymous votes. The only reason why it "needs" to know the number of registered is for cosmetic reasons, to display some statistics , i.e. to go from "x people voted" to "x% of expected people voted" that are nice to have but don't affect the integrity of the votes in any way.
