are we sure the votes are counted the right way? With all the electronic voting devices, what guarantees and checks are in place to assert that a vote cast for Trump is not counted towards Biden (or vise versa)?
Does anyone know?

I guess the thinking is that if an election is within .5% there can be a recount. And then each polling station (county?) provides numbers separately, so to push the vote a huge amount you'd need multiple polling stations to lie to move the vote more than .5% (as I understand it, not an expert).
That said, I'd love if the full process was disclosed somewhere for public scrutiny. There should be numerous safeguards (e.g. two random people counting the same stack of ballots) in a good system.
There are so many ways a pollster could go wrong. Sample Size, Push Polling, Shy Voters, Poor Question, Poorly Trained Survey Collectors, and on and on.
With voting it's basically did we count it right.
