Secretary Rokita Going After Uncertified Voting Machine Maker
(UNDATED) - Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita’s office has filed a petition to collect civil penalty fees from voting systems vendor, MicroVote totaling more than $360,000.
The secretary's office filed the petition just as the appeals process is near completion on a July 2007 administrative ruling.
The ruling ordered MicroVote to pay the state civil penalties and investigative costs stemming from 198 violations of Indiana election law.
MicroVote came under initial investigation in April 2006 following allegations that the company sold uncertified voting equipment in as many as 47 Indiana counties.
Indiana law requires voting systems to be certified by the Indiana Election Commission before being sold, leased, or marketed for use in an election.
