19. Hi LS, I don't actually misunderstand what you are trying to say..

I just think that it can also be answered as I did.
Most of us here are political wonks. We have way more info than the general public will ever bother with..
Thanks to us wonks making racket however, the general public has finally gotten around to distrusting black boxes run by faceless corporations with their own agendas as a good way to cast their vote..Took 'em long enough...and oh yeah,...Yea, Us!

I don't think that Congress in general believes that they want secret vote counting or that they would admit to it even if they did. Since they are the ones that I want to change the rules I am happy to make bad corporations the villains that Congress needs to protect us from.

For me, at the moment, emphasis on No Basis for Confidence in the legitimacy of the election and by extension the Elected, is a more easy to expound upon focus.

But I do take your point...
Best,
Melissa
