Votes in federal elections are cast and counted in a highly decentralized and variable fashion, with no uniform ballots and few national standards.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do.
Elections aren't just about who votes but who doesn't vote.
It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.
It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.
Every vote counts and every vote must be counted.
Vote counting and ballot collecting does not occur in the light of day. There are too many occasions when observers and opposing parties lose contact with the ballots.
I have nothing to do with counting the votes.
The National Popular Vote is about getting states to convert from the winner-take-all rule. The states that pass the legislation will assign all their electoral votes to the candidate that got the most votes in the country, not just in the state.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
Polling in a general election is pretty accurate, because turnout is usually high.
