Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Opening up code in voting machine would be leagues better than leaving it closed source. At least other experts in the field could verify it.
Its also not like every citizen today can or understand all of the vote counting procedures with paper ballots, even when just constrained to their ballot.
- sametmax 10y agoOh yes, I don't discourage it. I just think that you can't be satisfy with it. Open source voting machine are still an abomination for the democratic process.
- GenerocUsername 10y agoremind me again how the open-source part makes anything worse than a standard voting machine?
- daveguy 10y agoI think it's an electronic voting machine in general. There must be a paper ballot trail. The absolute best setup for voting is the scan-tron style paper ballot. Immediate confirmation, quick and continuous vote tallies, errors are very rare and it includes a paper trail.
- sametmax 10y agoIt does not. Read the entire thread before being offended.
