Nov 4, 2026, 8:28 AMhttps://www.voting.works/ produces open source electronic voting solutions that are carefully designed to be as transparent as possible, but any electronic device has enough complexity in it that there will be people asking questions. And if the past month has taught us anything, it's that being open source doesn't mean that something is magically free of security vulnerabilities (no shade on Votingworks, I think their designs are as secure as possible with current tech),
@mjg59 I recently got shown a demo of one of the votingworks machines and even got to take part in a mock election where we got to use one of the machines to cast votes. I've been naturally skeptical of electronic voting for a long time but the VW machine was very well designed, answers to the audience's questions were all sensible and it gave me a lot of confidence that e-voting could be made to work. But they're not as widely used as their competitors yet and I don't know if I'd trust other manufacturers as much
