To Protect Voting, Use Open-Source Software

FFS. We know. And then the ballots are missing. Which is more preferrable than silent or undetectable failure modes.

Isn't there a logical fallacy named for nitpicking (concern trolling) while ignoring the whole picture?

This was not trolling. This was a failure mode missed in the GP. I believe we need multiple modes of storing counts and ballots, such that one single system can't be overcome.

My comment was merely in support of that.

Ok. We cool. I apologize for overreacting.
