Please help a non-American understand: what is stopping shady figures from reporting incorrect numbers?
Like, say Trump wins the most votes in Pennsylvania for example, what's to stop them from just straight-up lying and reporting that Biden actually got the most votes?
You would have to control quite a few polling locations to swing a state like this, and I'm pretty sure there is some redundancy in who does the final counts so as to not allow for a fix like this.
