Hi RedBob.

ITA is an Independent Testing Authority. Think about the folks that test anyting that needs to meet some "certified level of standards" - an example would be a UL Certification.

Well, they have these businesses that certify the software that runs our elections. They are sort of like the company that tests toasters and assign UL certification.

Anyhow, these companies are not permitted to look at the source code, due to copyright protection. Anyone that has developed software, or worked in a QA team will find this shocking. How do you make sure all the logic is "good to go", and nothing appears incorrect, if all you get to do is run the program but not look at the source code?

See a problem?

Another example should be a Palm Beach or Broward County voter.

But, seriously, good luck. No paper trail of votes is a recipe for disaster.
