Reply #101: Microsoft is just one head on this hydra! [View All]

Cut that head off, and the Black Box Voting Supporters will simply grow a new one. Just imagine a "new and improved" Diebold with QNX, BSD, or whatever...

If you think of these electronic voting machines as "vote laundering" machines then the software is simply the detergent. Using non-Microsoft code only makes it a little bit harder to cheat.

We don't want to make "No phosphates, no Microsoft!" part of any future BBV advertising campaign.

Even if these BBV machines used open source code it is still possible to cheat if any final audit is not based upon voter verified paper ballots. In the final examination, it will always be easier to tamper with electronic bits then the marks on paper ballots.
