I used the word median, not average.

But it won't work because the judges open the ballot box and count the
ballots after the polls are closed and before they are delivered to
the collection center. If there are too many, i.e. more the the number
that we issued to voters, our report allerts the collection center
people to handle our stuff separately.

And with the new ballots that have serial numbers printed on them the
computer will be able to identify which ballots, in particular, are
the fraudulent ones.
