A movement for open-source voting machines

NewsForge reports on the movement to make the US election voting machines open-source.

Successful open voting systems that are cheaper, easier to manage, and more transparent than proprietary systems can be found in Australia, Canada, Estonia, and other places. In the US, however, the effort to bring open source systems — and other aspects of trustworthy voting, including voter verified paper receipts — is made more difficult by the entrenchment of the major vendors: Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia, and others.
