So secure was the annual contest to fill three director and four officer positions that when one trustee lost his cryptographic key to unlock the results, the error made it impossible.

Well, I'm not sure how using bitwarden changes anything here related to losing your keys?

Hosting vaultwarden you are just restricting third parties from having access to your cryptographed data. (personaly, to me, that's always better, since restricts possibilities of brute force - currently unfeasible for non-state actors, but who knows what will be achievable in 2, 4 years from now...)

If you lose the key* that unlocks your vault, be it vaultwarden or bitwarden, you will have effectively lost access to your vault either case.

*: losing the key is what seem to have happened in this election
