In Belgium we have exactly the same conclusion from the carefull 
independant analyse of the voting code...

A quote:
<<
Casual inspection off the code reveals obvious errors (3),(5) from which 
we deduce scant peer review of the code, if any, has taken place. Nor do 
we see evidence that somebody has tackled the problem of creating 
entropy for the encryption keys (2). Also troubling is the fact that 
keeping the voting anonymous isn't high on the priorities list: global 
and stack variables are not zeroed after their useful lifetime has 
expired (1).
