This USA Today article says that vote-counting machines across the U.S. are aging, obsolete, and that the U.S. Election Assistance Commission has been unable to develop standards for new technology. The article also explains that Los Angeles County is spending $42,000,000 to build its own vote-counting technology. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.
