"Voting machines are best authenticated by the voter for the simple reason that one can look and see what the machine has printed out," Stoinov said. "I am here because of my skills as an IT specialist; I have a mandate from my minister to check this whole process (of machine voting) and manage it. Would you sign one of the most important decisions for a democratic country without first looking at what you sign and certifying it?", he added and pointed out that only the CEC can install software on the machines.
