There is only 1 publicly traded company I know of.
The vast majority are privately held and small plus
appear to be more innovative than the publicly traded one.

Florida was only the tip of the ice burg, voting
problems are very wide spread. A lot of counties
and states are looking to update to ATM type,
touch screen, or, at least, optical readers from
punch cards and lever type machines.

Contracts are awarded sometimes on a county or a state
wide basis depending on the state. Some states have gone
so far as to ban punch cards. Has anyone who
has ever used a punch card actually checked the
back of the card to see if their "chad" was still
hanging?

Anyway, some of the systems are pretty expensive like
the touch screens . Some don't leave auditable
paper trails ie. individual voter print out or ballots.
So there are a lot of different directions that this
market can go, plus the market may be a short lived one
after machines are replaced, unless machines like the touch screens are leased instead of sold.
