If it's for local government... seriously, spend 20 minutes writing up your findings & concerns about their job signup website, from the standpoint of IT security. Then just walk in person to the relevant government office with that and a copy of your resume, and ask to schedule a time to talk about the position.

If you have time to wait, the IT director or hapless Town Manager who wishes he had an IT director may well talk to you when they have a spare 20 minutes that day.

As long as you don't pick your nose or demand to work naked, IMO you'd have a solid shot at the job. Esp if most people are using the crappy online submission form.
