Yes, I agree. No one has any reason to trust our electoral system. There is no audit trail in most precincts. Neither party has been willing to press the issue for several decades. While I had a preference in the 2004 elections, I supported several groups more motivated by what they felt was a stolen election, but using their talent to improve the veracity of vote counting. It isn't just Acorn. They mostly appear to take advantage of absentee ballots. The nonexistent audit trail in the vote counting process is an even bigger problem. I used to develop laboratory instrumentation management systems. The FDA would not have validated vote counts from any precinct in the country.

I agree. Things have certainly changed since the Congress of the early 50’s when every Rep and Sen appeared to be a WWII Vet. Things have changed since any military person of legal age to vote (21 then) could obtain an absentee ballot and send it back without ever having a reason to question the integrity of the election process.
