No one said anything about "perfect". I said black box systems that nobody but "experts" understand should be literally outlawed. Nowhere did I claim the system had to be "perfect". It needs to be a simple enough system that even laymen can understand, not some computer black box.
What you fail to understand is that an "election" whose results can't be trusted is equivalent to a dictatorship. Actually they are even worse than dictatorships. In a dictatorship, at least you know you are being oppressed. When unreliable elections are institutionalized, they give an air of legitimacy to the dictator's rule, you're constantly gaslit by the dictator and his political and ideological supporters into believing that the oppression is just the democratic process at work.
