E-Voting Company Reveals Their Source Code

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the vote-of-confidence dept.

Kodi writes "VoteHere has decided to release their source code so that other people will have confidence in it (MSNBC, press release.) It's definitely NOT open source (unlike OVC) but it's still a step in the right direction."

    I realize that it takes a bit more effort the RTFA, but in the pdf include in the source they make it very plain how to submit bugs:

    I believe the statistic is that only 1 out of every 10 person (correct me if I am wrong) in America votes in the presidential election.

    That's incorrect. In 2000, there were over 105,000,000 votes cast. This was 51.3% of the voting age population of 205,815,000 and 67.5% of the 156,421,311 registered voters.
