Yes, the ballots now reflect the results that the hacked firmware first showed during the count. Thus, the authentic firmware can now confirm that it "counted" the right number of votes during a public audit. This scenario requires extra authentic ballots and some hands (robotic?) to fill them up. So the cheat is done similar to what happened in Maguindanao before. Holden
