In 2000, the election of the U.S. Presidential boiled down to a few precious votes in the state of Florida — and a recount that would add "hanging chad" to every American's vocabulary.

Documentaries such as "Recount" and "Hacking Democracy" have made me sick to my stomach - and for a while now I've been questioning the fundamentals of the 'Democracy' that we have been shoving down other countries' throats all these years.
I for one am thrilled to hear about something like this. I think it is long overdue and it has a number of benefits:
1) will save taxpayers money in the long term
2) will create a platform that many developers can review and audit, thus helping improve security and preventing fraud
3) will create a de-facto standard for how we vote, and hopefully over time become used by more and more counties
4) will provide a better level of technology so even poorer counties can (hopefully) upgrade to a high tech and more accurate voting system
