23. Populex has business ethics in mind
From the populex <http://www.populex.com/Business.htm">Business Ethics page:


"Enhancing and preserving the integrity, fairness and accuracy of the voting process are the major goals of election reform.

To further the integrity of the process, Populex employees and other company representatives shall conduct themselves in a way that respects the dignity of public officials and supports the best interests of their constituents."


They seem to know what election reform is, and by mentioning it, they implicitly acknowledge that reform is needed. Reform goes hand in hand with abuse, of course. But their focus seems to be on respecting public officials rather than the voting public. Why should they be thinking of "the best interests of their constituents"? Why not just count the damn votes as we voted them, and don't assume you know what our best interests are?

I have a theory that the (few) republicans who are cheating us out of our election really do believe that it is in our best interest for them to do so. They know they are running the risk of being exposed, but in their eyes, they are doing great work. Poor fools! We are all the poorer because of them.
