It is good that this system is being covered at all, since alternatives to our problematic voting machines are many, but but mostly ignored. This story is single source. It does not compare the OVC system to others, and has only one viewpoint. The historical context is good, and the story is accurate. I have been following OVC and have tried the software myself.
