The "missing votes" were found during the recount, and added t the eventually certified totals. So yeah, the system works. Whats the issue again?

It does include multi-AZ redundancy, which means that your data is spread across multiple physical locations within a region.

AZs are usually within something like a 50-mile radius, which doesn't get you meteor level separation but does get you fire level separation.

daftdoki··on Nokia: Yes, we decrypt your HTTPS data, but don’t worry about it
Even if Nokia isn't looking at your information, they're breaking the trust model of SSL even more than it already is.
