Why Voting Technology Must be Open Source

,----[ Quote ]
| This is a video of Jeff Waybright, Jackson County Clerk in Jackson Country, 
| West Virginia. A state that is very close this year and although it only has 
| a tiny number of electoral votes it could be a deciding race in a close 
| election. In this video, you'll see Jeff demonstrate a machine out of 
| calibration switch a vote for a Democratic candidate to a vote for a write-in 
| candidate. Jeff will then "calibrate" the machine, and continue to have 
| issues with calibration.
