Don't make vague accusations...explain how Mickey Mouse gets to actually vote

By not actually walking in and voting. Crooked polling workers do it behind the voting booth. Or even in front if they don't care enough, it may even be possible for someone to have a fake ID with that name on it. Micky is a common first name, and while Mouse isn't, I would be surprised if someone out there doesn't have it.

Suppose you keep your life fortune in a lockbox in your home.

You come in from work today, and notice that the lock has been destroyed and the contents of your lockbox dumped out on the kitchen table.

Are you going to just say, "Hmmm. Someone got in my lockbox. Let me put this money back in there" without trying to figure out who did it? I don't think so. Are you going to lock the box back, get a stronger lock box, or just leave the money on the table?

Same principle.
