I see stories about how election is rigged or that there are security vulnerabilities and lots of people don’t believe the outcome. Why don’t they just open source everything so that anyone can look at the code and be sure the votes are tallied correctly?
There’s no good reason not to use scanned paper ballots + ballot marking machines for differently-abled users; even strictly from a Vendor Graft standpoint, there’s just as much potential for kickbacks selling those machines as there is from selling un-auditable ones but with additional kickbacks from whoever gets the contract to print blank ballots.
