                aftermath</SPAN> of the Florida recount debacle of
                the 2000 presidential election, the U.S. Congress
                appropriated billions of dollars for state and local
                governments to buy electronic voting systems. But in the
                years since, a string of problematic elections has led
                much of the voting public to join early critics in
                concluding that available machines are buggy, easily
                subverted, and impossible to accurately audit. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://spectrum.ieee.org/oct08/6788">So perhaps it was only a matter of time before members
                of the open-source movement would enter the fray, with

                free and democratic elections. Already, two bellwether
