> Not exactly what I meant. > If installation number is open and visible, any person without any knowledge can confirm that during vote, latest installation number was such and such and hash of build was of such and such. Before election day number can be publicly broadcast so everyone knows what needs to be checked. > Opensource and visible means same as for linux, code is visible to those that have knowledge and can quickly identify attempts of backdoor attempts like for instance this one: https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2013/10/09/the-linux-backdoor- https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2013/10/09/the-linux-backdoor-... > Code wise that will allow that people in power will not try to manipulate or rig elections. If you have XX thousands of IT professionals that can check code it is surely better than "trusted" dedicated private contractor. "any person woth the knowledge" that's the issue you want a system where the most number of people with the least amount of specialized knowledge nessicary can verify their vote. Everyone can look at a pice of paper and see their vote before they cast it. Not everyone has the expertise to verify software was installed correctly and all the important cryptographic boxes where ticked.
