E-Voting Firm VoteHere Discloses October Break-In
linuxwrangler writes "In the ongoing saga of electronic voting 'security,' eVoting company VoteHere is the latest to reveal that they were the victim of a computer break-in. According to VoteHere founder, Jim Adler, the concern isn't about their source code which they plan to reveal 'eventually,' anyway, but is about the possible release of salary and other HR data. Astoundingly, the 'hot poll' associated with this story has (as this is being posted) 28% of respondents saying they would trust their vote on the internet and 41% saying 'not now, but maybe soon.' Feel free to cast your vote." Reader nSignIfikaNt points to the Assocated Press' article as carried by CNN.
If Bush is reelected next year with this technology, he'll be happy to announce that he won with 194% of the votes.
Aren't many of the companies in the e-voting business heavily funded and/or backed by Republican interests?
Republicans in the U.S. will basically do anything to preserve power. Let's not forget that Katherine Harris, the Florida Secretary of State charged with making sure the Florida election process was fair was the Florida co-Chairperson of the Bush Electtion team.
She swears she put the interests of the voters ahead of Bush's. She is now a congressperson contemplating running for Senator (thanks Jeb!)
Also, a cousin of Bush's, working at Fox News and head of the projection team charged with calling the states callled George Bush Jr. 5 times the evening of the election.
He swears he didn't give Bush any information. That wouldn't have been "Fair and Balanced", would it?
