Free software is not the issue, the machine used have no traceability at all, full black box.

Only paper trail makes voting machine acceptable.

Example of correct use Venezuela where the machines are here for just after close result but voters put the printed bulletin in the ballot box and a random half of the box are recounted manually.

If the software is fully known it is a bit better then proprietary and secret software, because the latter allows for easier insertion of vote rigging programs. But I agree that only paper trail makes it acceptable anyway (just assumed there would not be any).

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
