I understand the problems can be addressed by those tecnically educated. However the result of that process is the public being dependent on would-be Tecnocrats to ensure fairness in elections; i.e. a nation of sheeple.

I'd rather have a nation of We the People who can all witness, judge, and have complete confidence in the fairness of the voting process.

Unless the socialists prevent constitutionalists from getting a technical education, what's the problem? It doesn't matter that every voter is able to inspect the process completely, provided that there is at least one technically competent person the voter trusts who can inspect things. To be sure, some people might try to sow discord by suggesting to some groups of people that they shouldn't trust any technical people, but such people can never be appeased regardless.
