Gripping New Novel Exposes America's Vulnerability to Election Sabotage
Bradenton, Fla. (PRWEB) October 18, 2007 -- A Margin of Error: Ballots of Straw by Lani Massey Brown exposes the risks of election theft in today's technological age. As a former manager of election systems, Brown is keenly aware of the threat one diligent hacker can pose to any election.
Set in Miami, A Margin of Error: Ballots of Straw begins on Election Day. A high-tech insider has infiltrated Florida's voting machines, which spells victory for a political icon, whose career of covert, criminal accomplishments will guarantee a road to the White House, and intrigue for Deputy Supervisor of Elections Cady Palmer. As manager of Miami's election computer systems, Cady scrambles to piece together the puzzle of the election results, but before she can set things right, she is thrust into a web of terror and deceit and finds herself questioning everyone around her, especially Neal Charles, who has been sent by the governor to ensure everything is under control. Suddenly, life is no longer black and white, as Cady begins to fall for Neal, and together they search for the truth and risk losing it all for each other.
Since the 2000 Presidential election, electronic voting machines have been a source of controversial debate. A Margin of Error: Ballots of Straw dramatizes how simple it can be for a dedicated techie to manipulate an election, and it will leave readers speculating about the security of America's electronic voting systems.
