Public auditing of voting terminals strikes me as a place where open source of government-used software matters.
- kirushik 10y agoAnd the problem always is: how are you going to verify that the terminal you're using is running precisely the version of software you've seen? There's an awesome online course touching all those topics and then some, from J. Alex Halderman, Associate Professor in University of Michigan. It's called 'Securing Digital Democracy' and is available on Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/digital-democracy https://www.coursera.org/learn/digital-democracy

- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 10y agoThat's where it matters least because it doesn't solve the problems with electronic voting computers.
- matt4077 10y agoThe only software that should matter for election is what email client you use to send the ballot's pdf to the printer, and the online store where you buy the pens.
