How the GOP Wired Ohio's 2004 Vote Count for Bush to Win

By Steven Rosenfeld . Posted September 18, 2008.

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

An election whistleblower 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."
