More E-Voting Software Leaks Surface

Posted by simoniker on from the cheating-for-election-and-profit dept.

Christopher Soghoian writes "Sound like something you've seen before? Wired News reports that the software which runs Sequoia's AVC Edge voting machines has been accidentally placed on another company's publicly available FTP server, although this time it's the binary, rather than the source that's been leaked. Machines running this software were used in California's Riverside County for the 2000 presidential election and for last month's California gubernatorial recall election. The system also has been used in counties in Florida and Washington state."

  1. On-Topic: Diebold Lists Posted to Freenet by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Earlier today I posted the lists.tgz archive of Diebold's damning mailing list exchange to Freenet, as has been requested repeatedly in threads related to the electronic voting issue.

    The key is:

    CHK@sgOjWAy4g-0bf0m5biyqnEzWloENAwI,OXw8OfHPfsmL d0 68BtICKg/lists.tgz

    If I can obtain the AVC Edge binary, I will do the same with it.

    Let loose the DMCA notices, boys. It won't do you a damned bit of good now.
