(62,536 posts)The last actual audit of the machines was in 2005. In fact, during that audit a programmer shocked the Smartmatic corporate pigs by simply writing a program that revealed the votes of those who voted on the machines. He started by saying Voter X voted for Person Y. He didn't even make it to the fifth person before Smartmatic shut him down after proving just how iffy voting machines can be.
In any event software code review takes weeks if not months (which is why open source is good). The last time you spouted this nonsense you acted as if they did this "review" in the days preceding the elections which was preposterous.
If the code was subject to an independent audit as you claim then why is the Philippines suing for that very thing? Because Smartmatic, being a private corporation, must assure that no one see its intellectual property.
Regardless, Capriles' problem in the OP is that the CNE does not allow the opposition access to the voter rolls, which the Supreme Court said in the 2012 primaries were necessary to assure that no fraud was happening.
BTW, keep insulting me, it doesn't even stick because I know I am correct on this issue. The code is not open source.
