" Lack of transparency provides fertile ground for the corruption of any organization. That’s why transparency in the conduct of our elections is so important. The increasing using of electronic systems to manage the conduct of our elections makes transparency more and more difficult. Election observers can readily monitor paper transactions. However, election observers are often denied access to election systems which conduct electronic transactions. How then would the general public know if our election results had been subverted via manipulation of electronic election records?
To perform this oversight, citizens rely predominantly upon Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Unfortunately, there seems to be a pattern of “outsourcing” key government election functions to privately managed, non-government organizations (NGO’s) which are not subject to FOIA requests."
