With regard to computerized election tabulations, there are many questions which demand answer: Who sanctions the company and personnel to write the code that will be used in the elections? Who oversees the process? Who inspects the code for errors and for signs of malfeasance? What potential conflicts-of-interest are represented in the authoring, overseeing, and inspection of such computer code? Who oversees the implementation and utilization of these software-driven counters? What are their interests? Who knows the answers to these questions? Is the process open to inspection by the average, every day American citizen? If not, why not? A process that operates within a shroud of secrecy, is likely a process that will serve as an incubator for corruption. Perhaps the "problem" in FLA wasn't.
