That has not happened in such a way that the system has been properly 
reviewed.

Please show me where I gave you the impression that I needed to see the 
code?  My original post on this:

"I'd still like to be able to verify that my vote was counted properly.
You can not do this without a paper trail and review of the source code
by an external non-partisan entity."

Which says that a non-partisan entity should review the source code.
