Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro is barred from office until 2030
Why don’t they just release the source code and schematics for the voting machines and related systems? Why do they insist on only allowing a select number of professionals, picked by finger whom have to sign an NDA to audit the system?<p>Please note that I’m not claiming fraud here but the sheer arrogance of the Brazilian government in positioning themselves as a source of truth. “It’s safe because I say so”. Am I being unreasonable? Here is a decade spanning thread of the Brazilian government trying to convince Mozilla to accept their super CA audited by… themselves: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugzilla.mozilla.org&#x2F;show_bug.cgi?id=438825" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugzilla.mozilla.org&#x2F;show_bug.cgi?id=438825</a><p>So just open source it and add a feature citizens can verify the firmware. It will shut up the rightoids or any future sore losers of course but it will also bring the attention to every field related researcher on the planet to find the ugly vulnerabilities and shitty software quality and they don’t want that.<p>And why the hell something that decides the future of a country the side of Brazil is closed source and kept in secrecy? No other reason than conceiving a terrible job I would say but while I’m assuming incompetence I can’t also blame whoever claims foul.
