42. My understanding of the Central tabulator....
is there are two sets of books maintained in the GEMS central tabulator. The first set of books is left alone, and this is what generates the reports precinct by precinct. The second set of books is what gets modified and this is what generates the totals for the candidates.

This is why it is important to manually go from polling machine to polling machine and verify the grand totals of the central tabulator, but who can do this? This would cost money and require manpower. Also, in large counties there are too many precincts to keep track of all the totals.
