You can see everything they are doing on their website:

It is public information…

Paper ballots, please, (yes these are hackable too, just less so) WITH a picture ID…. It is NOT racist to demand a picture ID for voting. Or mail in ballots, if going to a polling place and voting is just ‘too much’….

SOS Bowen’s “Top to Bottom Review” highlights the lack of security feasibility for the ” secret software” model. regarding the ” internet hack ” of 2010 .. that is a red herring as the hosts of the demonstration were inept and the proving ground skewed. The fact is we now know technology is needed to escape the current debacle.. and the beneficial use of open source, the internet, and smart-phones is obvious.
