We give a new proof for a theorem of Ehrhart regarding the
quasi-polynomiality of the function that counts the number of integer points in
the integral dilates of a rational polytope. The proof involves a geometric
bijection, inclusion-exclusion, and recurrence relations, and we also prove
Ehrhart reciprocity using these methods.
