Doesn't it seem like voting software, which likely is thousands of lines of code, should be made open-source and go through some sort of approval process before being used for real? Isn't this software vetted or tested or examined at all?

Wouldn't matter. No way to prove to each voter that the same code is running on the machine itself, and nothing extra. It always comes down to experts claiming it's secure.

The only safe voting software is pencil and paper. Optical-scan count them, and do a random sample human count check to be sure the figures aren't way off. All with observers. One election day, none of this mail-in bullshit.

Agreed. Let's just use scrantrons! Widely available and accurate and everyone knows how to use them
