From their Press Release:
The cryptographer, Dr. David Chaum, known as the inventor of eCash and for his pioneering company DigiCash, came up with the system. He said “The more you look into how elections are actually run, even in this country, the more shameful the gap between what’s done and what we could and really should be doing.” Chaum also said “Today’s trusted black-box mentality has led to very high costs, meaning computerized voting mainly for rich counties, an utter lack of real control, and no way to re-deploy the hardware for other purposes such as schools or libraries.”
