Washington DC - There is nothing more vital to a democracy than the legitimacy of the vote.
It doesn’t matter whether your speech is free; whether the press/media publishes without stint; whether political parties organize and demonstrate without restraint—if authorities tamper with your ballot and the vote manipulated, your democracy is a travesty.
Thus the integrity of each individual ballot must be an absolute. Moreover, voters must believe that the votes of others are legitimate. We have more than enough sources of political conflict than to add questions regarding the validity of the voting outcomes.
