I would encourage you to read The Federalist Papers, or any of the other expressions of this centuries-long debate over representative versus direct democracy. Your argument shows none of the nuance that this debate requires.

That's policy and governance. There is also this separate problem of how to count votes regardless of what is being voted on. All I was ever talking about was how votes should be counted, and how our voting system has been tampered with. Why you insist I should be talking about anything else baffles me.

I stick to the topic which is also the topic of the article and someone else intrudes and accuses me of a straw man. SMH.

Uhh, "to count" in the sense of "to assign significance," and not "to enumerate." It's very clear from your original comment that you have a quarrel with representative democracy, and not the physical act of vote counting. But sure, that right there is the source of our disagreement -- the meaning of the word "count."
