This doesn't make any sense. Why in the world was source code at the State Board of Elections? If the state needed to certify the security measures at the source level, then Diebold would have required it be performed in secure facilities in a Diebold building. This smells more like an insider at Diebold sending out the source.
Is this the end for electronic voting?
Track it down, and we will find Democrat operatives involved.
Some tratoros scum at the company! Its no good to let this code out to the MMM - itll turn into the wrong kind of story. What if the code is how to win elections???
Maryland already has enough problems with precinct judges showing up.

Check it for fingerprints. Compare to members of CREW and you may just get match...
This is precisely why there MUST be a paper record of electronic voting. If you have electronic voting without a paper record, where the person can see the paper record of his own vote, then you are asking for manipulation of elections by manipulations of the code.
Indeed, given the whole history of electoral corruption in every nation in the world, including the US, whoever believes that you can have voting done into a black box with no paper check on the black box to verify what was input is what was registered, is naive. Who ever argues against having a paper record is either naive, or very intelligent and knows EXACTLY what he is doing.
Electronic voting without paper backup records for verification is guaranteed to be corrupt, manipulated voting. If the Republicans aren't ALREADY manipulating the electronic voting sans backup paper, the Democrats most certainly WILL when they get power, and then you will never see another Republican majority again, because the machine codes will generate the votes necessary to ensure a Democratic win, and the Democratically-controlled government will never allow the issue to be opened to investigation. End of game. And end of democracy.
That is why everyone should assume that whoever wants electronic voting without any paper backup is intending to commit election fraud. Because they are.
Here comes the CHAOS!!!
but it prolly has several KLOCs of code.
