I believe it would be safe to say it's been discussed at length before 
being brought to the attention of the general public.

Somehow election results were tallied before the days of electronic 
balloting. It could be done again. So you wouldn't know the same day, 
so what?

At which point it wouldn't matter, as free elections would be a thing 
of history. Look at history and tell me it can't happen. I dare you.

You know, being Jewish, conversations have often come up regarding the 
state of Jews in Germany in the 20's and 30's, and how they could 
possibly have missed the warning signs and stayed. I'm not saying 
there's going to be a repeat of what happened there, but we do need to 
pay attention to what's going on. To paraphrase, if we ignore history, 
we are doomed to repeat it.
