E-vote advocates still don't get it...

Sorry for being obtuse, maybe another way to say it is that even a flawed democratic process results in more public goods as part of the government budget, to "buy" votes, than a non-democratic process. Vote suppression, gerrymandering and other techniques to make the process less democratic hurt the efficiency of translating public opinion into public goods, by reducing the number of voters who need to be appeased. At some point if you continue toward less democracy then you cross over into not-democracy and have less people who need to be appeased with government goods, the end state being authoritarian governments where you really only need the support of the military, police and oligarchs and not the population at large. So the point where "peoples will doesn't matter at all" is much closer to a non-democracy where there are no real elections, and public goods are only handed out enough so that the police/military aren't overworked, than a system where there is just some gerrymandering and you still have to appease 51% the voting public.
