The argument IS about the need to verify the identity of all candidates
prior to inclusion on the ballot, because surprising at it may seem, with no
way to tell real people from fictitious ones, it could result in a fraud.
Then what? Another Election?

Meaning you approve of an electoral system which encourages the multiple
personalities of one person to stand for election for every one of the Panel
seats? Or are you stuffing the ballot box with imaginary friends to ensure
only those you know personally will be elected?

This is absurd. Where's the common sense?
