I just saw an interesting post -- The video linked to on http://www.blog.wired.com in Kim Zetter's "Threat Level" blog, there is a video describing the software used to provide open access to ballots after an election. The software used for this system is an open-source system written in Python. Turns out they found election system failures in California's Humboldt County using this software. It also turns out that the failure was not large enough to change the result of any of the races or propositions this time.
