I just read an article that the governor of my adopted state has just signed into law a bill that will require future touch screen voting systems to be open-source software. The code will be provided to any citizen who requests it. Also these machines will be required to produce a verifiable printed ballot in case a recount is required.
Wow, it is nice to see open source equated with accountability to the people.
