Diebold Patch May Be Evidence of '02 Election Tampering
An anonymous reader writes "Stephen Spoonamore, founder of IT security firm Cybrinth and former advisor to John McCain, claims he has new evidence of election tampering by Diebold in the 2002 Georgia gubernatorial and senate races. A whistleblower gave Spoonamore a patch that was applied to Diebold machines in person by the Diebold CEO. Spoonamore confirmed that the patch did not correct the clock problem it supposedly addressed, but contained two parallel programs. Without access to the hardware, he could not learn more. He reported his findings to the Justice Department, which has not acted."
seriously, what patch? i don't see no patch. dump the code somewhere, chances are, someone will recognize it, or knows someone else who will.
also, i'm not convinced the CEO coming out himself means squat. if it's a sensitive matter and last minute, sometimes you just do things yourself if you want them done right.
i hate electronic voting as much as anyone and would prefer paper ballots and hand counts. it works for canada. but this article is just a bunch of conspiracy theorist crap. if you've got the evidence, show it.
