   Aside, not part of the training: the totals in the clerk's book are not final. There may be additional mail-in ballots postmarked by election day but received after election day or deposited into a dropbox too late on election day to get to the polls. They may also be provisional ballots that end up being counted. This is why "certified" results don't get released until several days after the election.

     The trainer is now going over all the administrivia that the clerk needs to do in the clerk's book after the polls close. This includes counting write-in and hand-count ballots, transferring totals from the tabulator tape to the tally sheet in the book, transferring the write-in and hand-count counts to the tally sheet, adding all that stuff together, recording the final used and blank ballot counts and making sure they're consistent, and some other stuff.
