6. Good question: How?
The only way to regain any trust is to go back to people counting votes cast by people on paper.

This current wave of letting machines do the work is fraught with all kinds of perils, mistakes, glitches, worms and viruses.

Sure, people can conspire to steal a few votes here and there, but machines as we all know, can steal thousands of votes in the blink of an eye.

Now there will be some who will argue that we need to compromise away our right to have votes counted by people with the argument that people aren't capable of counting pieces of paper: that machines are far more capapble.

Screw them. As far as I can tell we can't count on them.
