Grannies Demonstrate for Geeks at LinuxWorld
Open Source to Deliver Voting from "Hands of Corporations to View of Public Scrutiny"
Outraged by the shenanigans that led to the "stolen" elections of 2000 and 2004, the Raging Grannies teamed up with the Open Voting Consortium in lobbying against proprietary voting machines. On August 6th, the Grannies helped demonstrate a new, easy to use voting machine that uses open source software at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, the largest single gathering of the open source community.
Open source voting technology has workings that are entirely transparent to auditors and can also be voter-verified, unlike some of the electronic voting machines recently decertified by the state of California due to security problems.
