Can you please provide a little more background on this project and story line?

I must say the hacker metaphor immediately raises the fur on my neck. That is like saying, Enron proves that is it possible for hackers to sneak into a great, successful, well-managed, highly ethical, multi-billion dollar American corporation and sneak away with loads of booty.

No, it didn't happen that way. Enron was an inside job. And the clear and present threat to our elections is not from hackers, although that seems to be the only story line that anybody in the media is willing to run. The threat is clearly from the inside, not the outside.

I hope that this project is using the hacker metaphor only to attract interest, and then gets to the real issues.
