But it's not "complex"

I know it's not really complex, but that notion is certainly being bandied about a lot. I said it would be used as an excuse, not that it would be the actual reason.

You mean the whole election is a sham?

No, I meant that I don't think we'd even be being given a choice about AV if they didn't already have a pretty sure idea what the outcome is going to be. Cynicism, not paranoia.
