an idea
Hi, I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I am rather politically minded and a bit of a skeptic. I have been thinking about the upcoming presidential election, and the method in which America votes. Paper ballots can be confusing, computer voting machines made by Diebold are not open source and for that reason could be biased towards a particular constituency because of a lack of outsider review. So here is my idealistic and probably stupid challenge:
Create an open source political voting system that has integrity.
For the time being I think It would be more secure to design the system to be kept at each polling place for voting, not as a downloadable piece of software or website that registered voters log into. I am wholly ignorant to programming, but I am interested in keeping this country reliable at it's core systems and I think that this Community has the brain resources to do it.
