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?

      Didn’t Fox News literally just do that with Dominion? Open sourced software is at least verifiable by independent parties and wouldn’t require a long $800 million lawsuit to work through.

      This is exactly what happened here in Brazil when a right winger wrote some bullshit code and claimed he leaked the voting machines code.
