Electronic Voting Firm Releases Code For Scrutiny

from the one-step-forward dept

While Diebold continues to believe that security through very weak obscurity is the best way to go, at least one other electronic voting firm has decided it's time to be a bit more open in how they do things. VoteHere, which supplies the software for Sequoia's voting machines (somewhere around 20% of the market), has released the source code of their software as a free download for anyone to scrutinize. Definitely a step forward, though, a verifiable paper trail in the machines would be even better still (though, that's up to Sequoia, not VoteHere). Also, one thing this does is make Diebold look even worse, which might not have seemed possible.
