1/5: Remember how @ElectionsACT didn't need to make their source code openly available for public scrutiny because it was going through an "audit and certification process"?

They published the votes on Friday and it is immediately evident that the counting code has bugs.

2/5: Andrew Conway implemented the count & found notable discrepancies with the official tallies - more than 20 votes in some cases. Our report is at github.com/SiliconEconome…

None of these bugs change the winners. They could have, but this year - by sheer good luck - they didn't.
3/5: You can check Andrew's code for yourself, of course:

PRs welcome.
