Electronic Voting Firm Has Site Hacked

Electronic Voting Firm Has Site Hacked
(AP) - A company developing security technology for electronic voting suffered an embarrassing hacker break-in that executives think was tied to the rancorous debate over the safety of casting ballots online. VoteHere Inc. of Bellevue, Wash., confirmed Monday that U.S. authorities are investigating a break-in of its computers months ago, when someone roamed its internal computer network. The intruder accessed internal documents and may have copied sensitive software blueprints that the company planned eventually to disclose publicly.

Sounds like some of the folks Bill Gates laid off. Information is power!

Anything is hackable, in my opinion it simply isn't safe to have online ballots.
