Okay, okay - Don't feed the trolls.
But I'm curious about this point - you suggest that, beyond checking
that the postal vote comes
from a registered Baha'i, that there is some process which the
electoral officers could use
to confirm the authenticity of their private vote.
The only thing I can think of is if there were a team of people at the
World Centre phoning
up all the postal voters to confirm that the the votes they received
were the votes they
sent.
Is this really what you expect to be done in any vote that includes
postal voting in order
to make certain that there was no tampering? Or did you have some
other process of
confirming the authenticity of the VOTES in mind?
This sounds like a rather unreasonable standard of caution to employ
to me.
