@chad I don't think you're understanding their argument.
Their argument is not that it would change the election but that it would uncover the correct result. It wasn't so much telling the guy to find the votes as much as it was telling him that he will find that the votes came out that way based on things like exit polling and statistical methods of confirming the election results.
If you don't understand their argument you can't really engage with them. And it sounds like you don't understand their argument.
