Because I want to understand what conservative/right wing people believe, and why they believe it.

In the case of the current discussion, the "why" is simple: they have been fed lies about voting security by their extremely biased sources. So it's not just differing positions, which is fine, but it is also being fed false information. Though it might be interesting if we could dig-out why they are so entrenched in demonstrably false beliefs (e.g. the entire discussion about false and/or unsecure ballots, which you just explained they aren't, but your opponent persists).

It's appears to be almost a religious belief: held without reason and against all reason and evidence.
