A Republican computer data security expert tells how cyber-partisans could
have stolen the 2004 election.

An election
whistleblower<http://www.alternet.org/democracy/94895/voting_machines_can_never_be_trusted%2C_says_gop_computer_security_expert/>who
is a Republican, a nationally known data security and computer
architecture expert, and an Ohio resident has filed a sworn affidavit in
federal court that describes how Republican Party consultants in 2004 built
an electronic vote counting network in Ohio that could have stolen votes to
re-elect the president.

The whistleblower, Stephen Spoonamore, who has run or held senior technology
positions in six technology companies, and whose clients have included
MasterCard, American Express, NBC-GE, and federal agencies including the
State Department and the Navy, said Mike Connell, a longtime Republican
Party computer networking contractor, "agrees that the electronic voting
systems in the US are not secure" and told Spoonamore in 2007 "that he
(Connell) is afraid some of the more ruthless partisans of the GOP may have
exploited systems he in part worked on for this purpose."
