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.
