That's their defense, but IMO it's a crock.
What "ideas" are we talking about here? Take input and save it? A first-week CS student can do that. It's recently been revealed that they're not even using encryption on the memory cards.
They're refusing to show their source not because of trade secrets but because they're embarrassed at the security swiss cheese they've deployed. And, if you're conspiracy-minded, because they want to keep the backdoors secret so they can continue guaranteeing elections for the candidate of their choice.
