Open-Source E-Voting Heads West

Scott Ritchie, a math and political science student at the University of
California, plans to launch a nonprofit Open Vote Foundation to modify
source code from an Australian voting system for use in California.
Australian company Software Improvements distributes open source voting
software under a general public license. The software, called Electronic
Voting and Counting System (eVACS), was developed by Software Improvements
in conjunction with an independent government body, published online for
public comment, and runs on the free Linux operating system. Mr. Ritchie
intends to modify it to provide a voter verifiable paper audit trail to
serve as a backup in case electronic ballots show voting irregularities.
