Sequoia to release voting system software

Sequoia Voting Systems has announced that it will release the source for its "Frontier Election System" offering in November. "Fully disclosed source code is the path to true transparency and confidence in the voting process for all involved. Sequoia is proud to be the leader in providing the first publicly disclosed source code for a complete end-to-end election system from a leading supplier of voting systems and software." This release is carefully not described as "open source," and, in any case, source availability is not a full solution to the problem. But it still looks like a step in the right direction.
