Well, for any sinlge vote, I guess it could be miscounted.
I guess the thinking is that if an election is within .5% there can be a recount. And then each polling station (county?) provides numbers separately, so to push the vote a huge amount you'd need multiple polling stations to lie to move the vote more than .5% (as I understand it, not an expert).
That said, I'd love if the full process was disclosed somewhere for public scrutiny. There should be numerous safeguards (e.g. two random people counting the same stack of ballots) in a good system.
