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."

    The machines that protect democracy include jet fighters, naval warcraft, guns, rockets, bombs ---- and voting machines.
