"Open source" voting machines is essentially like baby-proofing a machine-gun. All of the problems that electronic voting poses to true democracy are 100% still there, but it looks safer - which may, unfortunately, make it more attractive.

I'm putting open source in quotes, since only software can be open source, a voting machine is a piece of hardware that you do not own, so you have no idea what it software it is running.
