Theocracy and Democracy are not the same.
If you believe it is important to count the vote accurately, doesn't this mean that you believe in "democracy."
Before the House vote on the same-sex marriage act, House Member Bob Good said, “And it doesn’t matter what you think or what I think, that’s what the Bible says.”
Not wanting to challenge anyone’s right to read and interpret the Bible, I do think that we need to be clear about the difference between “democracy” and ‘theocracy.”
In a democracy what you think and I think does matter. We cast our votes. We elect our representatives; they pass our laws.
For those genuinely concerned about the “fairness” of elections, isn’t counting all the votes accurately their objective? You may challenge the count because you believe the majority of people in the country think like you. Elections, polls and careful research will show you whether or not your belief is wrong. Actually, that’s why we have elections rather than just guess what a majority thinks, and if you are genuinely concerned about their fairness, you have accepted this value and this purpose. (Why else care about their fairness?) Someone who believes in our Constitution, who believes in the value of a democratic system of government, would not say that my view and his view and her view doesn’t matter when their own interpretation of the Bible differs from that of the majority.
Safeguards can be put into place to protect religious freedom. But in a democracy if 70% of the people want their government to have a certain law, it should happen (under Constitutional limits).
To borrow from Lincoln, to the extent to which this is not true, is no democracy.
I want to believe that many, most even, of those who challenge the results of the last Presidential government were doing so because they believed in Democracy—what the people say, not what someone says who is interpretating a religion’s sacred texts.
And they would not say that your view and my view doesn’t matter.
