Time for open source
With the problems rampant in the private source model for voting systems, it may be time for some input from the open source community. I think we all know that valid elections are required. Open requirements for requirements, design and implementation of the system could lead to some systems that would be accepted globally. The current crop of providers work in secret and are extremely defensive. Perhaps open source competition would help them see the error of their ways. It is clear that political pressure will not work, politicians are typically non technical.
