Liberty Vote, and every other vendor of voting machines in the US, can fulfill their commitment to transparency by making their technology open-source today. If every vendor takes this opportunity, together, we can turn the page and launch a new generation of voting systems every American can trust.

Signal, the most secure and battle-tested messaging app, is open-source. The US Military recommends open-source. A modern voting system needs to be open-source.

A voting machine that every American can trust must run software that is fully open to public scrutiny.

Today, VotingWorks makes the only open-source voting equipment in the US. Open-source is the modern standard for public-trust and high-security software.

We must start with a foundational commitment to transparency. Every voting machine vendor in the US claims to be transparent. It may come as a surprise, then, that most Americans vote on machines that run proprietary, secret software!

There is indeed a crisis of trust in American elections. As the saying goes, trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair. We urgently need a new strategy that repairs voter trust. American freedom and democracy depend on it.

‍On its website, Liberty Vote says, "We are turning the page and beginning the vital work of restoring faith in American elections."
