Source Code Access Denied in Disputed Race

Posted by Zonk on from the why-not-clear-things-up dept.

MrMetlHed writes "A judge ruled Friday that congressional aspirant Christine Jennings has no right to examine the source code that runs the electronic voting machines at the center of a disputed Southwest Florida congressional race. From the article: 'The ruling Friday from Judge Gary prevents for now the Jennings camp from being able to use the programming code to try to show voting machines used in Sarasota County malfunctioned. Jennings claims that an unusually large number of undervotes (ballots that didn't show a vote) recorded in the race implies the machines lost the votes.'"

    The problem with long lines (like one like this that i'm typing here right
    now with nothing really important to say actually, or something important
    to say but that doesn't always need to be the case, it just an example to
    go with the line i already typed) is that it makes your text harder to read.

    Especially when english is not your native language.
