I see stories about how election is rigged or that there are security vulnerabilities and lots of people don’t believe the outcome. Why don’t they just open source everything so that anyone can look at the code and be sure the votes are tallied correctly?
Even if it was the same source, you would have to also verify the compiler was not compromised. There are a lot of steps that need to be done.
That being said, open source would reveal the big easy to implement bugs and design flaws, as well as boost trust in the system. They should open up the source and allow audits.
