The threat to democracy from closed electronic voting systems is well documented. But why do these systems get put in place? Could it have some connection with political donations by companies that manufacture the machines, such as Diebold?

Our political system cannot reach unbiased, good decisions about what types of voting systems to implement if it's being swayed by big donors.

We have to hack to get money out of politics, so that our politics don't get hacked!
