Obscurity shouldn't be the only form of security. These systems are very insecure, and the fact that they are trying to rely on obscurity is pathetic.
The code should be open source and auditable. I specifically mean,Publically viewable, not open source licensed. They can keep ownership, but I think the only way moving forward with Digital election systems is open spec, and viewable code, so we the people can ensure there is no manipulation. Anyone that tries to prevent such a thing is likely trying to manipulate it, or cover for those who are.
- AnnoyedComment 5y ago100% agree. Want to see all our open source advocates jump into this conversation.
- yesbut 5y ago> The code should be open source and auditable. 100%. Who in their right mind would think it is a good idea to trust a private corporation with doing the right thing in regards to democracy and voting? Whoever has been outsourcing voting to private corporations needs to be investigated for graft. This have been going on for years.
