GRANITE BAY, CALIFORNIA The Open Voting Consortium will demonstrate a
version of its free election software on the 1st of April at 10:00 AM
in the Santa Clara County government office building, 70 W. Hedding
St., room 157, San Jose. The Open Voting Consortium intends to make
free voting software available for use in public elections to begin a
process founders hope will transform the voting system from a
fraud-prone, blackbox, proprietary, expensive, idiosyncratic,
unreliable system to a technically sound, accurate, secure,
inexpensive, uniform and open voting system.

An international team of volunteer scientists and engineers developed
the demonstration system. Jan Krrman of Sweden, a senior research
engineer at Uppsala University says that the role of the U.S.
internationally makes it important, outside the U.S. as well, that
fair elections are being held there.” John-Paul Gignac of Canada wrote
the software for the graphical user interface. Anand Pillai of
Bangalore India, Eron Lloyd of Pennsylvania, and Dr. David Mertz of
Massachusetts have been the other main software code contributors.
Fred McLain, a noted computer security expert from Washington, has
served as the lead developer over the past two months. I am very
pleased with the outstanding contributions of this world wide group of
contributers. In a short period of time they have created a ballot
system with a paper trail, an outstanding verification system and
allow for vision impaired users as well, McLain stated.
