As for the only substantive point you attempted to make....... Card Check does eliminate secret ballots if 50% of the employees sign authorization cards. Therefore if the union can strong arm enough employees to sign cards then there is no secret ballot election. Read the bill if you are confused because these facts are not in dispute.
