Smart folks here can probably tell me this would be impossible. If I had a tabulating machine, could I program it to at a certain point to start counting every ballot as 1.1, but to only display the integer. So that by the time I got to say 85 or 90% counted the display would register 99%. And yet I would have a pool of genuine, legitimate ballots to draw from in case my candidate didn't get enough votes? Asking for a GEotUS

yes of course, easily. the difficult thing would be obscuring that in the code -- and do we have access to the code?
to answer your question by simple example using for example a white-space language like python, you could use a count() function where you tabulated "Biden" ballots by "+= float(x +.1) and output int(x). it is trivial.
What if the code was from an obscure company owned by some guy named Paul Pelosi? And what if he were married to one Nancy Pelosi? And what if the company was a CIA sponsored shell?
