Trust No-one
No voter, no polling place worker, no election administrator,
no vendor, no auditor, no equipment certifier, no tester,
no state official, no academic, professional, or politician,
and certainly not me!
This is a matter of self interest!
All citizens of a democracy should be partisan,
everyone has a stake in the outcome, which is to say,
everyone has a conflict of interest that disqualifies
them from being entrusted with the job of running a
fair election!
