Not that I'm excusing any of the developers or users of this Elector app...
I find it's sometimes an illuminating point of view, to see these sorts of egregious failures from the point of view that there is a range of possible outcomes of any effort, from complete entropic chaos to a perfect expression of the intent and specifications.
Efforts like these simply fail to approach the ideal closely enough to avoid the costs of the inherent chaos.
I don't think so much about trying to herd people toward the light of perfect code and process. I do think about ways to mitigate the cost of the chaos.
And then occasionally I get this vision of people who fail to consider the effects of breaches getting doxxed themselves, but that also seems vindictive, and as Tim Ferriss rightly pointed out just this week, can involve permanent damage to others.

We humans are a tough bunch to sort out.
