Each box should have a count summary included.. maybe he saw this before the actual counting of the ballots.
Would the count summary be afixed on the outside of each box...but, even if that were the case the Director of Elections would have known that mistakes - including recording counts and assigning totals to the wrong candidate - can be and have been made...so he knew he could never ever be absolutely confident on who the winner would have been to the extent of making a public announcement as to likely winner...
...unless????
