States like Michigan, my lovely State, didn't use Diebold or anything else electronic, due to blackbox voting laws. We don't allow that sort of thing here. Michiganlegislature.org is a good resource, or thee resource, for our voting laws.

However, Ohio, which used blackbox voting, allows for the independent verification of the source code, if not the public disclosure. Sort of like hiring a mediator in a civil case. So, while this process could have been corrupted by the GOP, it is still allowed. This protects the state's interest, and gives them a right to examine the software. It's through a third aprty, but that party is acting in the state's interest.

fair enough?
