Masters Degree in Computer Science. Having developed software for over 30 years, I know that it is impossible to remove all defects from any piece of software. In addition, software is especially subject to corruption, either accidentally or deliberately. For these reasons 1) independent, open software review is a standard best practice in the software industry and 2) it is crucial that voting systems provide an independent means of recording and verifying voter intent that does rely on software.
