Is this a joke? Kaspersky releases blockchain online voting system

Yeah. THAT Kaspersky. The one accused of Russian spy connections. The one that WikiLeaks showed may have been framed as malware - not actual antivirus.
This probably isn't going to be used in American elections, but does anyone else see a problem with this?
A. You have to buy that a Russian intelligence-related company is going to be really honest about this.
B. You have to buy that an American intelligence agency isn't going to do something nefarious (rigging elections)
Anyway, this might not go anywhere, but it's good to see blockchain in the wild.
No problem:
If it's true blockchain, it will be open source, so you do not have to “buy” anything — you just have to know how to read the code :)
If it's not open source, then it's a scam, and you do not “buy” by default :)
Those who do wish to rig the elections, won't allow open source blockchain platform.
