I certainly agree that confirming the counts at all precincts is a key to preventing central tabulator mediated fraud.

I'm confused about the distinction you're making between the bad "ballot definition settings", as described in the link that Bill Bored gave to me and the type of vote switching related to the program that Clint Curtis was asked to produce, and which he testified to before Conyers' committee.

It seemed to me that both of these problems are produced by programming the computer to produce votes for one candidate that are intended for another -- although they are different kinds of programs. So, wouldn't providing public access to the computer software that determines how the votes will be counted prevent the type of vote switching fraud described by Clint Curtis as well as fraud mediated by bad "ballot definition settings".
