#127644 - lack of relevance
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The evidence indicates that it's much harder to crack open source code than proprietary code. It has nothing to do with being able to examine the source, and has everything to do with designed in security, or lack thereof

"designed in security" has NOTHING to do with 'open' or 'closed' source.

The method I would insist on, were I a purchase of voting machines would be that a mutually agreed organization sworn to secrecy would have access to the 'closed' source.
