Revolution for Voting

[Zac Elston]

Just thought I'd toss this out since it's been eating at me forever and 
I never have time to really get into it.

In case you haven't noticed there is a big mess in touch screen voting. 
   A few enterprising individuals have created open source voting 
systems which are workable but need backing for the support 
infrastructure.  That seems to be the big hurdle no matter what.

I happen to write/furnish a lot of touch screen tools in Revolution for 
doctors and government stuff so I've been interested in how these 
systems work and have a lot of experience with touch systems.

My city had a few such commercial voting products (Diebold) last 
november when I voted.  I stared with astonishment at the simplicity of 
them.  It would take a few hours to write the same thing in Revolution 
(well the interface/storage anyway) and allow the source code to be open 
as well.

I think this would be a great way to promote Revolution as a stable 
system able to manage a very serious task.  Anyone interested as an 
academic exercise in assisting (need to print to a variety of simple 
tape printers)?
