Since, generically anyhow, an open source
system provides access to anybody to use/manipulate/modify an existing system.
Isn't this a direct violation of the law? And therefore you are solving a
problem with a bigger problem! What you need to do is provide legal
representations, through your local congressman -packed with your findings
- to the US authority, responsible for the overall supervision of the scheme so
as such 'changes/modifications, can be made, legally' compulsory legislations.
To simply invite programmers to create an open source system will not make a
shred of difference -and above all you are making yourself and others liable to
state prosecution for interfering with public domain data. A better idea is to conduct a thorough research
-quantative and qualative - into a potential source code that could guarantee
true voting calculation/ true representation of factual votes and present your
findings (hypothesis and conclusion) through an academic paper that could be
forwarded to the appropriate authority (you may even get a government grant to
do such work)! Now enough of using this list as a venue to
expressing unwanted political issues, this is meant as a technical
repository. Ahmed |
