	Yes, it does. If we continue to use closed-source voting machines with 
no paper trail, we'll never have any way to check whether the votes we 
cast were really counted correctly. A linux-based open source solution 
would give us confidence in the vote, which I for one have very little 
of at the moment.

	Whether we think there was foul play or not, I think we can all agree 
that we need open source voting machines. And while it doesn't really 
give us much more to discuss on the matter, except maybe how to 
influence secretaries of state, it is certainly linux-relevant IMO.
