Pols and pundits from both sides of the aisle are quick to place most of the blame on faulty electronic voting systems. But until we set a technical policy that favors open voting systems, as Australia did in 2001 with its open source eVACS (Electronic Voting and Counting System), we have only ourselves to blame. http://www.itworld.com/tech-amp-society/56762/open-source-how-e-voting-should-be-done#comments Government Open Source Tech & society Opinion election evoting Mon, 27 Oct 2008 13:54:52 -0400 ITworld staff 56762 at http://www.itworld.com
