You do not want a case where the courts find that Baba's 20 votes were stolen and therefore the whole results are not credible and we should repeat the elections.
Kwani what results were used to declare the outcome? the "computerized" results or the Physical Form 34Bs?
2 votes here and there don't matter.it has to be on a large scale. The court has to weigh in on the overall credibility of the polls which all observers have termed as credible.
Harrydre do not joke with courts. Have you heard the saying the law is an ass. When a case is in court even when the evidence is strong you are at the mercy of the judges because they can opt to focus on even the most minute detail and pivot on that to declare something invalid.
Courts love their own rulings more than the truth. So for example if a constituency A had 10 polling stations and the total number of votes for Uhuru were 3423 from the totals on form 34 As and Raila had 2576 from the totals of 34 As. If when filling out the form 34B the constituency returning officer wrote and announced that Uhuru's votes were 4323 and Raila's were 2756 then IEBC can only use the latter figures even if they are incorrect. They cannot do their own addition and announce the correct number.
So in this situation there will always be a case regardless of what happens. If NASA discovers errors in any form 34B they will argue that the form is invalid and therefore should not have been used if IEBC announced the corrected number they can argue that they did not follow the law by announcing the figure on form 34B as required. Once a judge hears this then he has to make a ruling at which point it is out of anyones hands and the judges can rule as they wish.
