They slowly count or shutdown while they figure out how many ballots they need for the illusion
of a close race. They then create or grab from the warehouse which they know are all for their candidate.

They get the mail delivery people to backdate any new ballots that they bring in (or they already have piles pre-dated sitting somewhere waiting to be found if needed).
