The code for counting elections should be as simple as looping over an array (positions) and accepting an input for each (vote). Send it to a db and aggregate there.
Integration with hardware, now that shit requires a bunch of (lower level) code.
Source code, machine schematic, part #, etc. should all be public.
Really though the way forward is to have it on a blockchain where each vote is chained to the prior and you can privately validate your block on the chain post election w/some sort of printed receipt.
Complete public ledger of who voted and the totals, while the individual votes are private and can be validated through your receipt.
Probably the source code of the voting computers. Problem is, even if you get the source code and are able to decipher it, how do you as a voter know that that code is actual in the voting machine, when you are voting?
No, voting should be done with identification, a pen, a paper ballot, a voting booth, a sealed ballot box, and a hand count of the ballots. Anything else is asking for trouble...
Source code for thé election machines!
I’m a programmer. That source code is never inspected by anyone as part of the certification process, from what I’ve read…
How bloated/obfuscated it got to be to have 10+ mil lines of code...
C'mon. They have to add 1 to a total, and get a new total, lots of times.

This is the biggest contention of the Brazilian people. No one even knows what the heck those election machines are actually doing.
Just a guess, but I think it would be the source code for their election process.
Odd that the sign is in English.
Not really. That message is meant for an American audience.
Had the same thought. 40,000 ft view?
Two languages: Brazilian on left and then repeated in English on right.
Portuguese. They speak Portuguese.
And yeah, folks- most countries are bilingual: their own language and English.
Yeah seems like its referring to the code that operates on the election systems. That ran a fake election.

Yep. A ballot box protocol, which allows the public to inspect all [anonymous] ballots,and each voter is given a key to identify their own ballot.
This mechanism would crowdsource election audits to the voters.
We want source code
......has anyone asked why the sign is in English? Don't they speak Portuguese or something?
Brazilian Patriots know they must put it also in English, so the World can see... Many signs are being used in various languages as well
Per a link elsewhere in this thread: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/brazil-update-4-banner-capital-protest-want-source-code/
The sign is Portuguese to the left (clipped off from that image), and English to the right.
voting machines?
