I'll bet most of the folks who got their hands dirty "safeguarding" the ballot from The Enemy Within are probably good and decent people, in the main. They think they're doing The Lord's Work, because that's what they've been told: from the church pulpit, from the bully pulpit, by their pastors and their leaders, for years on end.
