Georgia electronic voting probed
A security consultant and former policy adviser to Sen. John McCain is investigating allegations of voting-machine tampering in Georgia's 2002 elections, according to Raw Story.
Stephen Spoonamore says he was given a computer patch from a whistleblower who worked in former Secretary of State Cathy Cox's office. The whistleblower alleges that prior to the November 2002 elections, the CEO of Diebold personally installed the patch on his company's voting machines in DeKalb and Fulton counties.
Incumbent Democratic Sen. Max Cleland was beaten by Republican Saxby Chambliss in the 2002 race, and Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes was upset by Republican Sonny Perdue.
