CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 28 (UPI) -- California Secretary of State Debra Bowen said open-source software should be used in elections involving electronic voting machines to protect against fraud.
Speaking during a panel discussion at the EmTech technology conference, Bowen said individual counties currently are responsible for purchasing voting machines, the MIT Technology Review reported Sunday.
The Democrat said the purchasing decision is often left to an information technology professional who may lack detailed knowledge of cryptography and computer security.
Bowen said the one technology she'd like to see integrated into voting systems is open-source software for creating ballots and tabulating votes, the Technology Review reported.
"A lot of the concern comes out of the fact that no one can look at the software," Bowen said.
