The maker of voting equipment, Sequoia
, have sent a somewhat threatening letter to Professors Felton and Appel. I have not read the background on this story, but one can only imagine that this has to do with controversy over electronic voting systems and their security and trustworthiness.
This is a problem with closed source applications/hardware that affect the general public (much like breath alcohol analyzers), if no one other that the company selling the product can inspect the code and how it operates how in the world can we trust it? How do we know it is working as intended or rather as advertised?

Leave a comment, go Sequoia’s site and leave them some comments telling them that threats and secrecy are not how we want to run a business.
