Take a hypothetical election. It involves County 1 and County 2. County 1 has 100,000 voters, and County 2 has 100,001 voters. County 1 voters
vote 100% Democratic, and County 2 voters vote 100% Republican.

So the Republican wins by 1 vote? Not so fast.
County 1 uses OpScan machines with a 0.3 error rate.
County 2 uses Votomatic machines with a 3% error rate.

So the actual totals are
Democratic: 100,000 less 0.3% = 99,700
Republican: 100,001 less 3.0% = 97,001

First of all given this example, the democratic totals would be well over 100,000. You forgot to include the deceased votes and the illegal votes.
Second, the solution is not to subvert the process after the election. The republican county simply needs to get with the program and upgrade their machines.
