it's not enough that there's hard data. the american public is now confused, and they're confused because something was attempted that should not have been attempted. the american public now thinks our electoral system is utterly broken. the reality literally doesn't matter
have you ever tried to demonstrate something to a person who doesn't know you very well, like your bosses boss, and made a tiny mistake, or something went slightly wrong, and you felt the bottom just drop out of your stomach because you knew you were fucked?
like you pitch the program (sigh) to your bosses boss, and then you go to show them, and there's some tiny popup error because nobody plugged in the network on the demo PC, and you just know it's over. it's fucked. anything you do from this point is just wasted effort
they saw an Error and now your program looks like garbage because they don't know you and they don't know this environment and you just know you can't undo it. this is like that
it's absolutely critical that the electoral process be utterly boring to everyone. it needs to never be exciting or have anything go wrong
