Re: Just a sec

Show me one product that has been independently verified as secure, contains Open Source code that has been vetted and is regularly pitted against white hats to ensure safety, and I might eventually come around to thinking that it could be used.

For a start you need an assurance process in place that combines transparency with accountability all the way down the delivery chain, and there are simply too many politicians in that mix for that to ever work.

I've been following the work of Rebecca Mercuri for years (I reckon for more than a decade by now) and yes, voting software is still the final frontier because of a number of conflicting demands and the profound allergy of suppliers of transparency..
