The Politics of Honest Voting
It's time to replace the politics of secrecy and cover-ups in voting with the politics of open source.
I keep hoping that a technical solution to the unaccountability of current voting technology is right around the corner. Unfortunately, each time I think we are moving in the right direction, I see more politics added. So, although Linux Journal is a technical magazine, I think we need to look at the politics of the situation and figure out how to get from politics to technology.
The problem is current voting machine technology is flawed, but we, the public, don't get to see those flaws. Beyond that, your elected officials seem to be doing their best to cover up for those selling flawed systems. Rather than write about the examples, take a look at BlackBoxVoting.org. The site contains a lot of history on this topic, and it continues to add more and more information every day.
