[$] Open-source voting for San Francisco

To open-source fans, the lure of open-source voting systems is surely strong. Soa talk at 2019Open Source Summit North America on a project for open-source voting inSan Francisco sounded promising; it is a city with lots of technicalknow-how among its inhabitants. While progress has definitely beenmade-though at an almost glacially slow speed-there is no likelihood thatthe city will be voting using open-source software in the near future. The talk byTony Wasserman was certainly interesting, however, and provided a look atthe intricacies of elections and voting that make it clear the problem isnot as easy as it might at first appear.
