    Disclosure of election-system source-code materials

    Disks apparently containing Diebold Election Systems source code used in Maryland's 2004 elections were anonymously sent to Cheryl Kagan. The materials bore Ciber and Wyle logos; both companies denied responsibility for the disclosure. The episode raised questions about the custody and security of sensitive election-technology materials.

    Ciber donated to Republican organizations, including a reported contribution to the Republican National Committee in 2000. The donations prompted criticism that political giving by an election-system testing laboratory could undermine confidence in the neutrality of its work.
