That's easy. With Joop, if the results do not match what he wants
them to be, then the results are not the truth. Of course, he can
manipulate the end results before the close of the polling as well. A
surprising number of votes that were going against his own position
saw surprising and unexplained surges in voting that benefited his
position. And it always seemed to happen just hours before the
"polls" closed.
And open sourced, auditable solution is much preferable over Joop's
version of "democracy."
