In which way?  There resulting code should be runnable on a wide number
of platforms, so there isn't a single source issue, and the actual vote is
on voter verifiable paper, so corruption of the BIOS won't be able to
affect anything other than the number of "something's wrong - this isn't
what I voted for" complaints.

Perhaps you were thinking of a pure electronic version?
