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?

    Thanks for your insights.

    A high profile CVE on voting machines released right before an election would almost certainly be solved by air-gapping the machines during the election.

    Also, a high profile CVE released right before an election is almost guaranteed to happen, thanks to the motives of potential attackers, so it would be important to have a plan in place.
