But this issue goes deeper. As the flaws, the breakdowns, the mistallied votes show us, eVoting software is a) not ready for prime time, and b) has been deployed widely without a shred of evidence of working QA and code review. Counting votes is a very simple thing. Creating safeguards, paper trails, and offsite monitoring is something, junior coders and sys admins do every day. The underlying OS, as much as I am not a fan of Windows and don�t like VxWorks� RTOS touch screen routines, has working and QAd touch screen technology built in, most of which is capable of accurately intercepting touches. The issues and errors we�ve seen in the past days are most definitely a sign of the sloppiest of coding, the most outrageous of omissions, and the worst in software deployment and servicing.

This is the second Presidential election that has been called into question because of malfunctioning voting machines. Maybe auditing the code of these things should be the next major campaign.
