> Why would their code matter? Far more important than the code is the paper ballot audit trail their machines produce.

Thank you!!! There are tons of people who have spent their entire lives thinking about computer voting. Their recommendations are almost uniformly:

1. Dear god no.

2. If so, paper trail.

Looking at the source code when there's an auditable paper trail is a huge idiotic red herring. And, there is an auditable paper trail.
