Thank you!!! There are tons of people who have spent their entire lives thinking about computer voting. Their recommendations are almost uniformly:
1. Dear god no.
2. If so, paper trail.
Looking at the source code when there's an auditable paper trail is a huge idiotic red herring. And, there is an auditable paper trail.

It's also quite interesting that Democrats have tried multiple times in the past two Congresses to provide for election security laws, with mandatory paper ballots AND standard auditing, and yet Republicans refused to bring any of those bills to the floor in the Senate.

The situation will be reversed for the next 2 years. Just watch.

Democrats have already introduced a new election integrity bill providing funds for secure voting. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/1/te... - Look for “Subtitle F—Promoting Accuracy, Integrity, And Security Through Voter-Verified Permanent Paper Ballot”
Biden got 7 million more votes than Trump in 2020. Democrats are perfectly happy to spend even more money to “prove” their wins are real (although it’s actually mostly solid Republican states that use insecure voting machines that don’t have a paper trail and should be forced to upgrade).

Regardless of who got how many votes, our system needs to have as much transparency as possible. And that starts with use of open source software & hardware for elections. Then with making sure that people that are allowed to vote do.
Why would their code matter? Far more important than the code is the paper ballot audit trail their machines produce.
And that audit trail has been audited by multiple states, run by both Republicans and Democrats, after the election and found to be flawless. The machines counted properly. https://sos.ga.gov/index.php/elections/historic_first_statew...
