He wanted every vote to matter; Athan Gibbs Sr. dies in crash (BBV)

He wanted every vote to matter; Athan Gibbs, Sr. dies in crash.

Mr. Gibbs was killed about 10:30 a.m. Friday in a car crash on Interstate 65 near Eighth Avenue North as he drove from his north Nashville home to his downtown office at Tennessee State University's Business Incubation Center.

Metro police said Mr. Gibbs lost control of his Chevy Blazer after he cut in front of an 18-wheeler and the two vehicles collided. The Blazer rolled several times in the southbound lanes, went over the retaining wall and came to rest on its roof on the northbound side. Gibbs was ejected, police said.

Athan Gibbs Sr.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Athan Gibbs Sr., an accountant who devoted himself to developing a better way to record and count votes after the 2000 presidential election, died Friday in a car crash. He was 57.

Troubled by problems in the 2000 election, Gibbs invented the TruVote system, which he said was designed to restore the public's confidence in the ability to get each and every vote counted.
