Video at link is edited so I can't really find out any information about "whiting out" a ballot. But they did say it was on provisional ballots only and that provisional ballots accounted for one percent of ballots cast (if you were a mail-in ballot voter and showed up at the precinct to vote- you are given a provisional ballot. You also get one if you aren't registered voter at that precinct and in both cases the ballot must be double checked to see if 1) you didn't already vote (either by mail or at another precinct) or 2) are not a registered voter. They have to be verified before they can be counted.
In San Diego County, the totals in the Democratic Primary were:
Hillary Clinton 214,302 votes or 51.7%.
Bernie Sanders 197,483 votes or 47.6%.
Others: 1,523.

I also noticed as they showed ballots going by, "there goes another one" on many of those it actually had Sanders oval blackened. One had "Donald Trump" hand written on it.
But anyhow, I get a total of 413, 308 Democratic primary ballots cast in San Diego county. If one percent were provisional, that would be 4,133 such ballots. Even if every single provisional ballot was for Sanders, changed or not, that still would not give him enough to win the county. He lost by almost 17,000.
