"Voting machine company to pay county $1.2 million"

"A cash payment of more than $1.2 million is making its way into the Marion County general fund, courtesy ofa Nebraska-based voting machine company.

Election Systems & Software agreed to pay cash and provide voting equipment for problems dating back to 2003, shortly after it signed an $11.1 million contract with the county.

The action could set a precedent for 32 other counties under contract with ES&S as election officials scurry to have polling sites in compliance with the Help America Vote Act by 2006."
