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?
If we could fix those potential flaws then we would be better off. A company who has their code verified by thousands of people is going to be more trusted (by experts at least) than someone who hides it.
You are right about 1 though, some people think the world is flat. We probably can’t fix that, but we can at least make it as secure as possible for experts.
