Athan Gibbs, The Tragic Story of a Patriot

McKinney tells the story of Athan Gibbs, a black accountant who invented a voting machine with a verifiable paper audit trail. Gibbs's machine was rejected by Georgia officials in favor of Diebold's system, which lacked transparency. Gibbs argued that voters should be able to verify their vote just like an ATM receipt. He died in a suspicious car accident one week after his story gained national media attention.
