If they don't trust the escrow process and the independent examiners, they can refuse the electoral authority a software license.
Well, that's basically what's happening, since their lobbying was not effective ..
No it's not what happened. What happened was Microsoft tried and failed
to dilute laws that would protect the electoral system against abuse.
It was only after failing to corrupt the system that they refused the code.
Yet another example of of their total contempt for the political prosess
and anything that stands in their way of making a buck ...
"Microsoft's proposed change to state law would effectively render our
current requirements for escrow and the ability for independent review
of source code in the event of disputes completely meaningless -- and
with it the protections the public fought so hard for,"
Similarly to what would happen if Tony failed to get one of his
competitors bumped off and only then went to court, still doesn't make
him a good citizen .. :)
