Never mind the wrongful termination - actually, do mind, - he got canned because of whistleblowing: ... The suit claims the termination occurred shortly before Spillane had planned to meet with officials of the independent testing authority responsible for certifying voting machines and the U.S. General Accounting Office. He claims the firing was "clearly in retaliation for whistleblowing." Although more than a year and a half has passed since he lost his job, Spillane said he decided to file the suit because he believed it was important to disclose potential defects in voting software applications and in the certification process. ... In his lawsuit, Spillane claims that he submitted about 250 defect reports during his tenure at VoteHere, where he was hired in January 2001 to test voting applications to ensure they were in compliance with Federal Election Commission guidelines and industry standards. One of the defects he cited was a data path flaw that interfered with the software's ability to correctly transmit votes from the computer screen to the record log. Other defects affected usability of touch-screen voting systems, particularly for seniors and people with "limited educational experience." ... ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :NSA got $20Bil/year |Passwords are like underwear.
