OStatic

Open source software is used for many things these days: operating systems, databases, word processors, web servers, browsers, CRM systems...the list goes on. But there's an area where so far open source has gained no traction: voting. Though the United States has made a wholesale switch to electronic voting machines in the last decade, the software in those machines is all proprietary and closed source. The folks at the Open Voting Consortium want to change that.
