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?

    @rockslice addressed this in another comment - you use signing certificates to verify it’s the correct code, which is a widely accepted method.

      How can a voter verify this though without spending 10 minutes inside the booth?
