Yes and I fought the false impression that it was meaningful or properly handled or that somehow the results are explainable by an after the fact explanation. Therefore my conclusion remains that the election system is broken and should be fully transparent, traceable and auditable.

You can have all the voting integrity in the world, but that will have no effect on the State. Here are two extremely important laws that were written by one party and later passed by the other party:
  • The Affordable Care Act was written by Republicans in the 90s and passed by Democrats in the late 00's. (source)
  • The Patriot Act was originally written by Joe Biden in the 90s and then passed by Republicans in the 00's. (source1 source2)

True. A democratic republic is generally a mix of the worst of either form of government, much like socialism is a mix of communism and fascism disguised as the free market.
