Even the church counts their paper ballots by hand
Do they know something we don't?

Hacking the Papal Election

The election takes place in the Sistine Chapel, directed by
the Church Chamberlain. The ballot is entirely paper-based,
and all ballot counting is done by hand. Votes are secret, but
everything else is done in public.

1. They know something we at DU know.
Paper ballots, publicly hand-counted, is the most secure method.

2. very wise of them
to spend $10,000 on a voting machine to count 115 votes would be foolish.

3. I'm not quite ready for "the advanced vocations" but I like this-RECOMMEND
Venezuela is giving heating oil to poor Americans in NYC or Boston. Why can't we petition as citizens that the Church be allowed to come and actually run our elections as per their formula. Secret voting, public counting.

The Church urges its followers to a higher standard but recognizes the fallibility of man...oh, God, help me stop...

Great post kster.
