Is it too much to ask to just completely open-source these voting machine? These machines decide the future of our country and affect the entire world. The least we could do is allow everyone to verify for themselves whether the machines are secure.
- danielweber 14y agoMake sure you open-source the compiler, the firmware, the hardware manufacturing process, the assembly, the drivers, the software that built the compiler, and the software that built the compiler that built the compiler. Or just operate under the assumption that some of the machines are compromised and make sure you have ways of recognizing faults after-the-fact.
