Re overall accuracy in voting counts...

I thought the same thing but do have a question. How accurate are the end of day or week cash register receipts in, say, a major supermarket? It seems a reasonable data point with respect to many small transactions adding up, and the same cross section of society shops (and even works) there. Plus they have the pressure of very tight profit margins, so it ought to represent what could be achieved.

Anyone know from experience?
