there’s 80k ballots with blanks for president they want to get their hands on, so they can derive the voters intent.

Are there 80k paper ballots with no presidential mark?
Or in total, electronic and paper, there were 80k?

[Pearls Before Swine]

See your point. That’s what observers are for.

As long as the counters don’t have pens/markers to actually fill in the ovals, it will be OK.

How many ballots have a vote for both Trump and Clinton, despite votes for Republicans on the rest of the ballot?

If there are indeed 80,000 ballots with blanks for President and those blanks are clearly unmarked, Trump needs to have count watchers to make sure those ballots stay unmarked. Just because voters may have left that position blank (Dims or Pubbies), vote counters should not assume it was a mistake and try to attribute a vote to whatever party has the majority of votes on the marked portion of the ballot. Leaving it blank CLEARLY shows the voter's intent.
