In a sworn affidavit (pdf file) Monday, a former programmer for a NASA contractor said that he developed a vote-rigging prototype at the request of a then-Florida state representative who is now a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.

While working for Yang Enterprises in Florida, the 46-year-old programmer says he was instructed by then-Republican state representative Tom Feeney to “develop a prototype of a voting program that could alter the vote tabulation in the election and be undetectable.”

This is definately something I think everyone and espeically people here on AO need to be aware of. Its especially funny to notice that the programmer claimed he was intially told that the reasons for being assinged the task was to prevent democrats from abusing the new electronic voting systems...but later he realizes its a double-sided knife and rolls over to authorities. Does anyone actually buy that load of crap, or pick the more sensible notion that he got screwed out of a payoff so he went public and tried to remain the innocent middle-man? Chalk one more up for Open Source.
