Did I mention natural behavior? Did the comment I responded to mention natural behavior? How is natural behavior relevant to the discussion between OP and I? What is the point that you are arguing and why are you taking it up with me? Further, how are you defining natural behavior? Can natural behavior change over time, in response to external stimulus?

There is a lot of incentive to flood well-meaning discussions with vitriol in order to bring the political temperature up. Most people that do this aren't even trying to be trolls, they are caught up in the fury of those around them.

Can you prove that they have stopped improving their technology? Marketing is one of the most dishonest fields out there, I would prefer that voting system companies (much like I’d prefer that pharma) not focus on marketing.

Do you wish that they didn’t use the only tools available to them when someone is trying running a smear campaign against them? Would you sue someone for trying to devalue your company and it’s reputation? Why do you believe it’s inherently wrong to sue someone?

So the entire system cannot be trusted and is entirely vulnerable to fraud, but all elections are not fraudulent? So the big bad guys are only being fraudulent once in a while, even though they get away with it every time. I don’t understand these mental gymnastics. Either believe in democracy (with all its flaws) or you don’t. You can’t just sit here and cry about what might have happened because you can’t verify it yourself. Democracy works and is trusted because we can verify with hand recounts what happened. Saying that the results are unverifiable is dishonest. If you want to reinforce democracy, then put effort into fixing it. Your current tone only serves to cast doubt about democracy.

Do you believe all American elections are most likely stolen unless someone presents you with facts that satisfy you? Trump, Obama, Bush, all the result of rigged elections too? What could ever satisfy you that you know, without a doubt, how millions of Americans voted?
