But here’s the thing I learned: you don’t bet against Ben.
Today, VotingWorks has the first US-federally certified open-source voting system: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/votingworks-makes-history-as-first-open-source-voting-system-to-earn-federal-certification-302891573.html

My 2006 paper literally has a section called “Barriers to Open Source Voting Systems.” Certification was one of them; a big one. 20 years later, Ben and the VotingWorks team cleared it.
What a thing to see. Huge congratulations.
