As an election judge, I'm not sure how different Baltimore is from Philly, but we are not permitted to physically leave the polls if the count (voters_entered - votes_cast = 0) is off by one at the end of the day. There is not slop in the daily counts. A chief election judge could just close out the tallies and lie up the chain, but if there was an audit, they would get caught. (ps - they got caught) The other scheme was advising voters inside the polling place (illegal) and signing in non-present voters and casting votes on their behalf (also illegal), so the counts would all look legit. They got caught for that too, it sounds like.
