Wine - A Salon special report reveals how new voting machines could resultin a rigged presidential race -- and we'd never know.By Farhad ManjooFeb. 9, 2004 | A few weeks after Election Night 2002, Roxanne Jekot, acomputer programmer who lives in Cumming, Ga., began fearing demonslingering in the state's voting machines. The midterm election hadbeen a historic one: Georgia became the first state to use electronictouch-screen voting machines in every one of its precincts. The51-year-old Jekot, who has a grandmotherly bearing but describesherself as a "typical computer geek," was initially excited about thenew system."I thought it was the coolest thing we could have done," she says.But the election also brought sweeping victories for Republicans,including, most stunningly, one for Sonny Perdue, who defeated RoyBarnes, the incumbent Democrat, to become Georgia's first Republicangovernor in 135 years, while Rep. Saxby Chambliss upset Vietnamveteran Sen. Max Cleland. The convergence of these two developments --the introduction of new voting machines and the surprising GOP wins --began to eat away at Roxanne Jekot. Like many of her fellow angryDemocrats on the Internet discussion forums she frequented, she had ahard time believing the Republicans won legitimately. Instead, Jekotbegan searching for her explanation in the source code used in the newvoting machines.What she found alarmed her.http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2004/02/09/voting_machines/
