I have been offline on a project for a while, but I would say that the
money that is already committed is going to be as big a problem as
anything. I think that any open-source voting software should be
available for the various vendor platforms. Municipalities might end
up paying the vendor as much to maintain the machines running
open-source. If the vendors could divorce themselves from liability
for the software by running an open-source solution, and still generate
the same revenue, it would be an easier pill to swallow.
