[ale] hack challenge for electronic boting system

[Jim Philips]

The state of Georgia has decided to allow a Cumming programmer, Roxanne 
Jekot, and her team a chance to hack into the states touch screen 
electronic voting system. They took up the challenge after she 
complained of the system's vulnerability in a forum. One of the system's 
designers says he puts their chances of hacking undetected at "1 billion 
to one". I was wondering why he hedged it with "undetected". Bob Toxen: 
You betting on this one?

I submitted it to Slashdot too. Don't know if they'll post it.
