I think the answer to that is a pretty obvious no, and a very worrying one at that. When our votes and our democracy are the basis of our freedoms, it is important that any changes we make to the system have fail safe mechanisms and are open, transparent and tested. Security through obscurity is no security at all. These machines should be developed as open source projects with heavy funding and clear, authenticatable paper trails produced. Until this happens, the Government is in the hands of Diebold.
