There are various public and private voting machine development efforts
going on, but nothing like ours.  I'm the guy when it comes to PC based open
source voting machine with a printer.  The reason I'm still at it is that
when people get the idea they'd like to work on such a thing and start
making inquiries, they wind up getting referred to me.  When it comes to the
top experts in this area, there really aren't very many -- and we tend to
know each other.  Some of the very top voting technology experts (e.g., Roy
Saltman and Doug Jones) are closely associated with this project.  Several
key people on our project were referrals from Stanford computer scientist
David Dill.  http://www.verifiedvoting.org/index.asp
