It doesn't matter who casts the ballots. What matters is who counts the ballots. - Joseph Stalin

Äîâåðèòå íî ïðîâåðèòå (Trust, but verify) - Ronald Reagan's favorite Russian proverb

Imagine the following election procedure:
Paper ballots are marked, in secret and deposited by the voters in sealed ballot boxes. (So far, so good).

The ballot boxes are then delivered to the offices of a private firm, which is publicly known to be a supporter of and contributor to one of the political parties.

Upon receipt of the ballot boxes, the doors are locked and no one other than employees of that firm is allowed to inspect and validate the counting.

The ballots are then destroyed, after which the results are announced.

The firm's favorite candidate is declared the winner. The final results vary radically from pre-election polls.
