Trust is a requirement of a voting system (or any other system that is entrusted with controlling who will government) if we want a stable society.

So we either need to teach people to understand it or find a way to make them trust something they don't understand.

The religion playbook is useful for the latter approach but if the goal is to make people trust what they don't understand but we've been doing pretty much the opposite real hard for the past ~10yr.

Our current system is stupidly simple and yet a quarter of the country still doesn't trust it.

It's not the mechanics of the system it's the institutions executing them that are distrusted.
