I think that's fair.

I actually think this is not so fair. The "magic" is revealed in detail 
in the voting report and its linked documents. Every single vote is 
listed with its receipt number (I checked mine) and the result of each 
count is reported, and itself verifiable. This is linked from the web 
page for the GM.

Best regards,
Dave
