I’m shocked
Not really. After 2000 and 2004 is anyone really surprised by this
June 26, 2006 (Computerworld) – Florida voter registration data can be vulnerable to theft, corruption, unauthorized access and alteration, despite the best efforts of elections officials, indicated a report by the Florida auditor general.
The report, released earlier this month by Auditor General William Monroe, found several IT security problems with the state’s central voter registration database. “There were some procedures that were missing we felt needed to be in place,” noted Jon Ingram, an IT audit manager in the Florida auditor general’s office and a contributor to the report.
For instance, Ingram noted that the review of the system found that a state worker was erroneously given access to the database and that a worker whose contract was finished mistakenly retained access.
I would have been surprised if it got a clean bill of health, but then I’d have suspected some hanky panky on the part of the inspectors because there’s no way that database is anything but corrupt and deliberately so.
