You don't have to COMPLETELY trust the system. You have to get it in your head that there will be some people who vote twice or people who screw around but very very seldom does it amount to throwing the election. That's what matters. Strive for perfection but don't be surprised if things aren't perfect. Nothing is ever perfect.

What you say about election integrity makes sense. Many of us do not completely trust the system as is but can live with it. The problems will come when senatorial or gubernatorial races are decided by a few dozen votes instead of thousands of votes. The trust level will drop to 50% or less immediately. I will probably be one of the first to protest.

I and many others feel trust in the system is the foundation of a democracy. It should be easy to build an election system that people trust. There is very little that can be done in a free society that doesn't involve some controls and a little inconvenience designed to protect the rights of all.
