With all the furor around election tampering, why aren't there regulations around vote counting hardware/software? Is the CMM still a thing? https://en.wikipe

Is the CMM still a thing?

"The CMM was originally intended as a tool to evaluate the ability of government contractors to perform a contracted software project."
For something as important as elections, developers (organizations) should be required to adhere to CMM 5 and use a very tight waterfall + TDD practices. Further, the product and testing requirements should be public. Not this shadow development crap.
- tengbretson 7y agoAs far as I know there is no legal basis for a vote having to happen at all, let alone be on the up-and-up for things like party primaries.
- Boxbot 7y agothe dnc and associated state organizations are not government organizations and there are no rules or regulations on whatever processes they use to select a candidate for the presidential election. they can literally do whatever the hell they want. for that matter there is no (federal level) law or regulation requiring a public vote for the president at all. the constitution establishes the electoral college but the methods by which electors are chosen and vote are left to the state themselves.
