14. Unfortunately, you have no idea that's the case...

"West, The Leading GOP Tea Party Scumbag was voted out. Plain and simple."

Unfortunately, you have no idea if that's the case. Nobody does. And, I suspect, if it was Patrick Murphy down by less than 2000 votes out of some 300,000 cast, you might even be first in line demanding that some human being actually counted them to find out who actually won and who actually lost.

Has nothing to do with how much of a "GOP Tea Party Scumbag" he is or isn't. It's about election integrity, and when it's your guy being told he "was voted out, plain and simple" without any actual proof of that, you'll be sorry you didn't stand up and support a public, transparent count this time around.
