Former delegate gets purported Diebold code
FBI is contacted over anonymous package
By Melissa Harris
Sun reporter
Originally published October 20, 2006
Diebold Election Systems Inc. expressed alarm and state election
officials contacted the FBI yesterday after a former legislator
received an anonymous package containing what appears to be the
computer code that ran Maryland's polls in 2004.
Cheryl C. Kagan, a longtime critic of Maryland's elections chief, says
the fact that the computer disks were sent to her - along with an
unsigned note criticizing the management of the state elections board -
demonstrates that Maryland's voting system faces grave security
threats.
A spokesman for Diebold, which manufactures the state's touch-screen
voting machines, said the company is treating the software Kagan
received as "stolen" and not as "picked up" at the State Board of
Elections, as the anonymous note claimed. Lawyers for the company are
seeking its return.
The disclosure comes amid heightened concerns nationwide about the
security of the November elections and the ability of the state to keep
tight controls on the thousands of machines that will be used next
month.

Get a paper trail. Good old ink and paper never looked so good.
