I think you misunderstood my point. The democratic process is obsolete, aside from a show of hands. I'm not suggesting that we should therefore go with a show of hands.. I am suggesting that we should understand that voting is now a pretense meant to get us all to go along with whatever corruption.

Verifying an election process is one thing. If you're saying that if we can verify an election, and it can still be corrupted by criminals, so be it. All the more reason to end the farce. Sticking our head in the sand in pretending it's viable is not reasonable, and is perilous.
