Every election we lose is not because of fraud!

[Bjorn Against]

54. This is not a criminal case, there is no innocent until proven guilty in transparency matters

No one is on trial for a crime, the question is not of guilt or innocence it is of government transparency. If there were actual transparency in the vote count then people would be more trusting of the results, the problem is that we have a system where we are simply handed the results and asked to believe them. Democracy is too important to simply trust what we are told, there needs to be an independent audit of every election and scans of the ballots should be public record so that anyone can go in at any time and verify the votes for themselves if they want to take the time to do so. It would still be a secret ballot so no one could tell who cast which vote, but we should at least be able to verify that if the ballot was checked for candidate A the vote was recorded for candidate A. The lack of transparency is an issue, we should not have to prove fraud in order to insist on a transparent system of elections.
