Hackers Post On DuPage County Election Website

An AP newswire article, via CBS2Chicago.com, reports that:

DuPage County's computer experts are investigating how hackers broke into the county's Election Commission Web site twice this week.

The hackers posted mock entries under a voter information link.

On Thursday the County Election Commission was alerted to a post under voter qualifications that read "You may not be a homosexual."

An online hacker intruded again later in the week and added another line that read, "Your grandfather must have voted."

Both entries have been removed.

Officials are trying to figure out if any laws have been broken.
