The Indiana State Congress Uses A Collection Of Nexus 7s And CyanogenMod To Let Members Vote

Here’s a mildly interesting story discovered by one member of the CyanogenMod Reddit board. Apparently the state congress of Indiana uses a custom setup to allow its state senators and representatives to submit votes. A Nexus 7 running the CyanogenMod custom ROM is permanently attached to each congressperson’s desk, connected to the building’s intranet system using a custom Ethernet adaptor (to avoid problems from an overcrowded Wi-Fi connection – there are 150 senators who vote at once), and hooked into SmartVote software from Propylon.
