Corporations should only furnish the hardware

On: Senators Clinton and Kerry Submit Open Voting Bill

The corporations selling the voting equipment should only be furnishing the hardware, not the software.

The software should be written by a public open source organization, like the Open Source Applications Foundation(OSAF) or a Sourceforge project. Then all hardware manufacturers must use the same software. When bugs are found in the code, new code should be furnished to the hardware manufacturers.

We are letting the tail wag the dog here. We should be controlling the corporations, not the other way around.
