by Nicholas | At The Raw Story, Larisa Alexandrovna and Muriel Kane have posted an article regarding certain possible irregularities in Ohio voting procedures in 2004.
A network security expert with high-level US government clearances, who is also a former McCain delegate, says the documents – server schematics which trace the architecture created for Ohio’s then-Republican Secretary of State and state election chief Kenneth Blackwell – raise troubling questions about the security of electronic voting and the integrity of the 2004 presidential election results.

The authors note that at least one expert is sceptical that such a method could have succeeded in the manner alleged. For those interested, the piece links to the .pdf file containing Spoonamore's affidavit.
