Carter Center Electoral Expert Mission Concludes Assessment and Issues Initial Key Findings
Nov. 4, 2022
- Voting technology: Brazil’s use of a pure direct recording electronic machine design places the onus of results integrity on the voting software. The TSE has provided an extensive set of audit procedures to address this. Responding to suggestions of auditors in previous electoral processes, the courts have successively increased the scope of these audits and reduced restrictions for auditors. The current iteration, which incorporates different university security expert teams that examine the complete system using their own tools in their own environments, without time limits, is the most permissive to date.
So, voting machines are reliable and beyond reproach?
