A: No. I immediately assumed that they were trying to keep you guys from cheating with it... so... so... I wrote up the documentation of what you would look for in the source code. How you would make sure the you - CUT - Mrs. Yang, and said, here's your report. Here's your program. And she said, you don't understand, we need to hide the fraud in the source. In the source code.
Q: Hide the fraud, not reveal the fraud?
A: Not reveal the fraud because they needed to control the vote in South Florida, is what she said.
Q: That's what she said?
A: That's what she said.
Q: To your knowledge, to your knowledge, was this used?
A: I have no idea. I was ready to leave, so... (laughter) and and I was tired and left the company.
Q: In your testimony a minute ago I think you said just before you left in answer to Congresswoman Tubbs Jones question, that... would you just repeat what you said in terms of uh the the uh exit polls?
A: The exit polls should not be significantly different from the vote.
Q: And if they were you would conclude what?
A: I would conclude someone's playing with the vote?
Q: Not with the exit polls?
A: That's possible too.
Q: OK and that's why...
A: Something is definitely skewed.
Q: Something is skewed with one of the other above.
A: To select which one you'd have to see where the problem is.
Q: Let me ask you one further question. Assuming for the moment that such software, such software to rig a vote was used, in one or more machines in Ohio or in Florida, couldn't you today detect that if you looked at the source code?
A: If you could get the machines and they had not been patched yet. I mean, once they get in and touch em', anything could happen. You could also set timers to do that, but then you could see the timer. Then you'd have to take those machines, decompile them, which I couldn't do, but possibly a Microsoft, an MIT something could do, you might... you might be able to.
Q: You might?
A: Depends on how good they are at destroying what they had.
Q: Destroying what they had by tampering the machine afterwards, or by programming them to destroy instructions in the first place?
A: Right. Because then since you...
