Voting Machine Fraud?

A former technician at an electronic voting machine company has alleged that the company, Hart InterCivic, lied to federal election officials “about the accuracy, testing, reliability and security of its voting machines.” From Wired News:

The whistleblower says the company did so because it was eager to obtain some of the approximately $4 billion in federal funds that Congress allocated to states in 2002 to purchase new voting equipment under the Help America Vote Act (aka HAVA).

The whistleblower filed a qui tam lawsuit last year, which remained sealed until last week, when the feds decided they wouldn’t join the litigation.
