The analogy to the doctor makes no sense there is not even any competition going on in it. What if for some strange reason there was two doctors operating on you and they were competing to be the first to find and remove the tumor for millions of dollars. Would you trust them to have your best interest always in mind and not try to interfere with each other?

Not sure I'm understanding your rebuttal - in your example are the doctors the politicians, or the providers of the voting system? If the two doctors are the politicians, then I think you are misunderstanding my point, and probably the objection raised that I was referring to. If your doctors are the people running the voting blockchain, then that's the whole purpose of having the chain - that it's mathematically verifiable by "anyone." This would be like if all the doctors in the world have a chance to oversee the operation and make sure it goes down smoothly.
