But probably too late for this year’s election …<\/p>\n
The controversial decision to implement various types of electronic voting machines in place of paper ballots is garnering little public attention, while many states hastily implement flawed electronic voting machines and related election procedures, according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation…Criticism of the current crop of voting machines focuses mainly on the lack of clear requirements for a paper record of electronic votes. Part of this ongoing dispute is the disagreement between legislators and voting machine vendors on any procedure to oversee the programming of the proprietary, and thus secret, computer code that runs the voting machines. No open source program for voting machines yet exists….Many election experts concede that electronic voting machines will ultimately be mandated by both federal and state election organizations. That movement is already underway. Given that reality, could open source programming play a key role in solving the issues surrounding voter transparency and election accuracy?”Absolutely, open source voting software could be used and should be used. There are two major issues facing open source voting software,” said Almond. “First, no one in the U.S. has funded a project to build the software. Second, the voting laws across the U.S. are not sufficiently standardized to make the creation of this software practical.”[Source]<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
