BBV: Open Voting Consortium
During this era of black box voting and companies working to fraudulently use our votes any way they please, I stumbled across this last week. It looks like this is a very workable solution and they have some excellent backers so far.

Taken from their homepage:

The Open Voting Consortium (OVC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development, maintenance, and delivery of an open voting system for use in public elections.

We are currently developing free voting software to run on very inexpensive PC hardware. The OVC voting system will accommodate different languages and scoring methods, as well as voters with special needs.

More information can be found at: http://www.openvoting.org

Be sure and check it out, if you feel that you can help them out send them an email!

*WE* need to take control of our voting future, not wait for some corporation to do it for us!
