Information Security Professional David Levin was arrested 3 months
after reporting un-patched SQL injection vulnerabilities (

) in the Lee County, Florida Elections Office run by Sharon
Harrington, the Lee County Supervisor of Elections. Harrington's
office has been in the news before for voting systems problems (for
example in during the 2012 election, 35 districts in Lee County had to
remain open 3 hours past the closing of polls due to long lines and
equipment issues (

), wasting $800,000 to $1.6 million of taxpayer money on incompatible
iPads for which her office is facing an audit (

). Rather than fixing the issues in their systems, they chose to
charge the whistleblower with three third-degree felonies. The News
Press also has several related interviews (
