Hi all, I wish to keep this apolitical and focus strictly on the technology from our perspective as developers/technologists. If voting software and machines were government owned and they wished to open source the software for the sake of transparency - would there be any good reason not to do this? There would no doubt be some benefits to making the code publicly accessible, a lot of which we see from the open source world already. Are there any risks that would outweigh some of the benefits of open-sourcing or making code visible? I’m trying to counterbalance the argument for open source code.
