As Election Day nears and worries about voting machine problems
intensify, four companies that develop electronic voting machines have
submitted copies of their software to the National Software Reference
Library. 

E-voting machine vendors filed the software code at the request of the
Election Assistance Commission, a federal body established to help
implement the Help America Vote Act of 2002. Commission members wanted
reference copies of the code so that if any dispute arises about the
validity of electronic votes, officials can compare the software in the
machines to the reference copy to see if any changes were made.
