I missed that one.
"Against the law" was an overstatement after I checked. There has to be a court order to examine the machine. The companies that make the voting machine claim that will endanger their proprietary software and courts have ruled against allowing it in every instance of challenge except once in 1984 with Votomatic punch-card machines made by Computer Election Systems (CES)
