The mark is made. The boxes probably were checked before ballots was placed inside and verified there was not any ballots in the box, verified theyv were still locked before leaving and verified when delivered to their designation. More than likely the slots was sealed before departing. I have worked in a voting precinct with touch screens, verify before and after the day is over, if a break in lines we were verifying our counts through the day, at the end of the day we balanced on counts. I don't believe in conspiracy theories.
