Open Source Voting Machine Reborn After 6-Year War With IRS (Wired)
Wired is reporting that the Open Source Digital Voting (OSDV) Foundation has finally gotten approval for its non-profit status from the US Internal Revenue Service after applying for it in February 2007. "Then the revolution stalled. The Open Source Digital Voting Foundation spent the next four years in a kind of government-induced limbo as the Internal Revenue Service delayed processing of its application for nonprofit status. That delay cost the operation an untold amount of grant and donation dollars, and though the project has produced some software, it still hasn't begun work on important things like ballot-counting and tabulation devices and accessible voting machines." OSDV runs the Trust the Vote project and seeks to create open source voting machine solutions.
