You let machines count your money don't you? Who insists on a hand count of the currency to verify your monthly checking or brokerage account? They don't even count cash by hand, it's all done via machines.

That's a terrible analogy, and it's impossible to list all the reasons why.

Money doesn't work like ballots. All ballots are the same value, and each voter is entitled to one only.

If the pennies in my account are miscounted, I certainly won't give a damn.
