The vote counts are off in many counties, including having more votes in a county than registered voters.

It's not evidence of hacking, but it's evidence that the vote tallies are wrong. At a minimum a recount and analysis should be done to determine root cause of why the numbers are wrong.

Thanks for the corrections! I hadn't personally verified this stuff, and will certainly stop repeating it.
