It's a week since the cpc vote and you don't know who your leader is yet.  So 'yes' I can belittle the cpc process.
And if you believe that hard-copy ballots are always destroyed immediately then you didn't follow the BC election and the recounts there - all done on the original ballots. 
Where DO you get your info from? Breitbart? The Rebel? Allow me to quote the article "The Bernier camp wants to know why party director Dustin van Vugt ordered that all the ballots be destroyed immediately after the vote and why scrutineers were also not informed that there was a 7,466 vote discrepancy. Only 7,049 votes separated the two candidates on the final ballot." So, not only did one of the major candidates not know the ballots would be destroyed, but the cpc can't count.
