Sequoia Disclosing Voting System Source To DC

buzzinglikeafridge writes "After Sequoia voting machines registered more votes than there were voters in DC's primaries last September, and the city threatened a lawsuit as a result, the company agreed to disclose technical details of the system (including source code) to the city. Although this isn't the first time the company has disclosed the source code of its machines, it is the first time the machines' blueprints will be handed over as well."

It's close enough for government work.

I prefer this myself:

if (candidate == "Bush)
      castVote(candidate);
else;
      castVote(candidate);

There is an old saying about how those who don't read history are doomed to repeat it.

I have no idea why that thought sprang to mind just now. None whatsoever.

Pretty sure vote==1 doesn't do much. In Java it actually gives you an error. In C it just does nothing mysteriously.
