All the experts said, that usually in such an election the ballots are sorted by candidate, put on stacks of 10s, then combined to stacks of 100s. If they followed this best practice, they would’ve had around 10 stacks, and the result would‘ve been obvious to everyone.

(Not so) funny twist: after the election the ballots were put into unsealed bags and were stored in an office where many people had access. So all recounts that are done now, are completely worthless.
