They refuse to release source code. It's all bullshit.

releasing the source code would almost certainly do nothing. how are you possibly going to verify each and every machine is using the software? this problem isn’t that simple.

If the source code is released, it could easily be hacked? We definitely don’t need an OPEN SOURCE voting system ffs

How is that even a thing? For us elections is should be a very simple code. You have multiple positions people are selecting for, and then you add them. It should basically be a fucking ongoing calculator that requires a login.

It's crazy their source code isn't just a proprietary form of ancient excel.

Also, the machines should be airlocked, and the code freely available. Calculating software, especially basic addition code isn't difficult. The fact we cant see it should be a major red flag.
