If they used a machine, the tape run at end of day would have to go to the state. Difference would be found from handwritten results. If only hand counted, it may never be found if there was a smaller difference. Because it was exactly 1,000 and written as it was, I am thinking it was an end of day error. One thing I found interesting is that the results cannot be found on the town website, at least I could not find them.
