There's a lot more to elections than tabulation.

Mapping, voter files, candidate filings, canvassing reports, ballot artwork, translations, ballot tracking, etc.

All of it should be open source. The way it used to be. Before the vendors smelled blood. (Especially after HAVA.)

I traveled my state advocating "citizen owned software". Everyone gets that phrasing. Overwhelming support.
