Voting Machine Scandal?

There are some reports over one of the big voting machine companies that has popped up on some of the techy/gadget blogs today. I debated internally whether to even post this, mainly because it isn't a smoking gun, and doesn't say a whole other than, "TOLD YOU SO."

BoingBoing has the story here:
Voting machine source-code leak shows election-rigging subroutines?

It is pretty technical stuff, and the comments seem to be more insightful than the post itself, but it does shed some light on the issue. We all know the potential problems with these machines. We also know the conspiracy theories behind them as well. This makes all of those seem a lot closer to reality, than I think anyone would like.

I am not going to spend a lot of time or effort researching this, and it is a little off topic for this blog, but I figured it would be good to get out there.
