The FBI is investigating the possible theft of software developed by
the nation's leading maker of electronic voting equipment, said a
former Maryland legislator who this week received three computer disks
that apparently contain key portions of programs created by Diebold
Election Systems.

Cheryl C. Kagan, a former Democratic delegate who has long questioned
the security of electronic voting systems, said the disks were
delivered anonymously to her office in Olney on Tuesday and that the
FBI contacted her yesterday. The package contained an unsigned letter
critical of Maryland State Board of Elections Administrator Linda H.
Lamone that said the disks were "right from SBE" and had been
"accidentally picked up."
