Voting machine critics ask for source code in disputed Congressional election

(RealAudio - MP3 - iTunes)

The loser of the Florida 13th District congressional race, Democrat Christine Jennings, and 11 voters from Sarasota, are contesting the November election. They claim voting machines failed to count thousands of votes. Jennings lost by fewer than 400 votes.

Jennings and the 11 voters are asking to investigate the machines, made by Election Systems & Software, and the software that operates them, known as "source code." They're appealing the decision by a federal judge who denied the source code request.
