9. A wonderful article that states the issue as clearly as it can be stated.

The issue is really this: do we want a democracy or not?

If the vote is counted by private companies using secret software that the companies and the courts guarantee will remain secret, and if there's no real way to verify the results of the vote counting, you cannot have a democracy. It's as simple as that.
