to certify Sequoia DREs for use in Pennsylvania. That sent Allegheny County (Pittsburgh) scrambling to buy ES&S iVotronic DREs with just a few weeks left before the May 2006 primary.

He's also the guy who put up the $10,000 DRE hack challenge in August 2004, betting that no one could hack into a DRE chosen by him (http://euro.ecom.cmu.edu/HackingChallenge.htm).
