Sequoia Voting Systems Accidentally Releases Source Code, Possible Evidence of Election Rigging
Sequoia Voting Systems seem to have inadvertently released SQL code from their voting machines. And people are saying that the code is incriminating. People who have analyzed the code claim that it contained code designed to control or influence the outcome of an election.

Voting machine source-code leak shows election-rigging subroutines? - Boing Boing 10/21/09
Sequoia, a company that makes many of the electronic voting machines used in the US and elsewhere, has inadvertently leaked much of the secret source-code that powers its systems. The first cut at analysis shows what looks like illegal election-rigging code (“code that appears to control or at least influence the logical flow of the election”) in the source.
Sequoia blew it on a public records response. We (basically EDA) have election databases from Riverside County that Sequoia insisted on “redacting” first, for which we paid cold cash. They appear instead to have just vandalized the data as valid databases by stripping the MS-SQL header data off, assuming that would stop us cold.
They were wrong.
The Linux “strings” command was able to peel it apart. Nedit was able to digest 800meg text files. What was revealed was thousands of lines of MS-SQL source code that appears to control or at least influence the logical flow of the election, in violation of a bunch of clauses in the FEC voting system rulebook banning interpreted code, machine modified code and mandating hash checks of voting system code.
I’ve got it all organized for commentary and download in wiki form.
This is the first time we can legally study a voting system’s innards without NDAs or court-ordered secrecy.

The code and the technical details are here for those inclined to look at it.
Torrent for the code in question.
The story is being discussed on the usual suspects for political stories related to programming.

The Premier software does not keep track of ballot deletions, according to a recent report by the California secretary of state. The software also records the wrong entry date and time for some ballots and allows audit logs to be deleted.
Such flaws mean that insiders could tamper with election results, then erase their electronic trail.
