Diebold Told They Should Obey Election Law
from the about-time dept
We recently noted that Diebold had been accused of skirting election law in North Carolina, as it asked a judge to exempt it from a state law requiring e-voting machine providers to offer up their source code to be reviewed by experts, if necessary. The EFF and others stepped in and sued, and a judge has quickly responded that Diebold should actually obey election law this time around. If Diebold wants to be in the bidding for a contract in North Carolina, it has to submit its source code.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
