Reply #35: Is there any better method for ensuring election integrity? [View All]

I don't see how you have answered that question.

Uhhhhh... let me see.... what are you saying... we should just ensure that the elections aren't rigged in the first place?

Do you really think that's an answer?

You cannot be serious with this, are you?

Do you really think this is a honest answer to my question?

It's as if you are arguing that if we make the vault impregnable then we don't have to ever know how much money is in there because no one can steal it. And I guess the side benefit you are also advocating is that even if someone were to manage to steal it somehow, it really wouldn't matter since no one ever knew how much was in there in the first place. That is your argument, isn't it?

Oh yeah, and you've also added another dimension to the argument, by saying that if we took a snapshot of what was in the vault that it wouldn't be useful at all, assumingly because it wouldn't be the same thing as actually counting the money. You argue that it wouldn't be useful at all in proving that a theft occurred. You even say that I must have some unusual faith in exit polls to even believe that they could ever be useful for anything, except for selling soap.
