Mailing Of Disks Containing Maryland's Voting Machine Software Raises Concerns Over Security
Disks containing what appears to be software code used in Maryland's touch-screen voting machines for the 2004 election were delivered anonymously to a former state legislator, prompting election officials to contact the FBI and raising new concerns about the reliability of the voting system.
