If you don't trust elected officials a priori, you have no place in a voting booth.

I take issue with you saying who does and doesn't belong in a voting booth, but maybe that's just phrasing on your part.

You're not supposed to trust officials. That's why there are cameras and observers. Of course, mail voting implies a lot more trust, which is why some don't want it.

Those paranoid people don't really vote. So it doesn't matter.
