To miscount is to get the number wrong: you count the people, the votes, the coins, and the total is not the true total. It can be an honest slip — you skip one, you count one twice — or, more rarely, a charged claim that the counting was done badly on purpose. There is also a noun, a miscount, meaning the wrong total itself.

It is not the same as miscalculate, which can mean the whole sum or the thinking was wrong, not only the counting one by one.
