Florida Candidate Denied Right To Inspect Voting Machine Software
Remember Christine Jennings, the Florida Congressional candidate against whom the Republican Party spent $58 million on robo calls? The people who received such calls about Jennings were misled by the calls' content and thought that they were being warned about her by her own political party. They learned differently only if they listened to the entire call, which most of them did not. But when they hung up, they would be called again. And again. Most people, of course, did not want to listen to the entire call.
In Florida's 13th District, Jennings lost by under 380 votes. In Sarasota County, 18,000 votes did not register on the voting machines, making matters even worse.
Today, it was announced that a Leon County judge has turned down Jennings' request to access the secret software that operates the voting machines in the 13th District of Florida. Just as bad, House Democrats announced they would do nothing to obstruct the seating of the district's new Congressman, Vern Buchanan. The judge said that Jennings' experts relied on conjecture and speculation, and did not provide "credible evidence" that warranted the candidate's inspecting the source code used for the voting machine software.
This will all with crying.

What? You want to fix that syntax for us?
This has the appearance of a major setback for Democracy that will not be acknowledged until the 2008 Presidential elections. That would be too late. I certainly hope people on the left (at least) complain about this as loudly as possible. I hope that Christine Jennings, sick though she may be, carries on. The presumption that the code on a automated voting machine is not in the public domain seems at odds with the principle of voting. Why should such code be the property of voting machine manufacturers? Who denies that this information cannot be manipulated? Our only protection against such manipulation is the sunshine of public scrutiny.
George you said it well. As a software developer I am well aware that any software I develop for a cliet is the property of that client. As 'the world's greatest democracy' we certainly have the right to determine the accuracy of our voting systems. Otherwise our electoral process is just a sham that is no better than the puppet 'democracies' that we support.
Well folks, it's simple, if you can't get to see the code you can never get the proof! Every thing out there is now top secret! So that is proof that it's illegal under the old laws, but, who pays any attention to them anyway? who's going to enforce them? Surely not the criminals running your government!
