As the Presidential election year in the USA is approaching, it’s time to remind everyone again about election fraud and how important it is to push for free software in electronic voting machines. Voting machine software is primarily manufactured by private companies who use proprietary software. This immediately brings up the possibility that backdoors are built into the software to allow people “in the know” to change vote tallies and directly influence elections.

“Mr. Gandhi, what do you think of Western civilization?”

“I think it would be a very good idea.”

“But what about American democracy?”

“I think you better start using open source voting machines.”

OK, maybe Gandhi didn’t say ALL of that, but if he were asked the question, I can see him saying something like that, based on our election history this century.
