South Carolina’s elections chief is also serving on a board of a major election equipment manufacturer- the same manufacturer that produces the state’s voting systems. That is problematic, argued Representative Jonathan Hill in this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman from Lindell’s Cyber Symposium in South Dakota. “It boggles the mind to comprehend how somebody could look at that situation and say, ‘no, that’s not a conflict of interest’,” argued Rep. Hill, who has a background in software engineering and revealed that he was not confident in the integrity of his state’s elections. Among other ideas, Hill called for total transparency and open-source code if such technology is going to be used.
