Reply #39: You are presuming that votes are immutable things that are either [View All]

"counted" or "not counted". This type of assumption would be ok with an indelible medium such as paper and indelible ink, but with electrons it is either meaningless or nearly meaningless to say one's vote was "counted" or had a "high chance of being counted."

I mean, c'mon. Let's say they "only" shaved 1% in order to change the result of a given election from 50-49 to 49-50. (or shaved one half of one percent, depending on point of view).

In the above case, should we all be happy that the "winners"of the election had a 100% chance of having "their vote counted" and the "losers" of the changed election had about a 98% chance of having their vote counted?

I think you guys are abusing something here.
