Web Site That Was to Post Local Election Results Crashes After
      Virus Attack
(7 April 2003)
A web site designed to tally and publish the results of a local
election in Will County, Illinois was unable to perform as expected
because it was deluged with phony requests.  The Will County Director
of Information Systems has informed the FBI.

[Editor's Note (Schultz): Although this news item might superficially
appear to not be all that important, it is really quite significant.
There is considerable apprehension concerning computerized voting
systems, and incidents such as this one will only increase the level
of concern.]
