All of the Cardinals must show ID (their credentials from the College of Cardinals). Each vote is counted individually in public with several people watch. If a vote doesn't match the correct total, or there is a blank, the vote is recalculated. The rules to make sure the vote is fair are really, really strict. And as a result, they caught a potentially serious error that could have impacted the entire Church. <br /><br />This is not to say any such rules are needed in America. But I don't think this history tells the story you suggest. Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956710629915890240noreply@blogger.com
