(UNDATED) - Four Indiana counties are out a million dollars, after their voting-machine supplier went broke.
Boone, Cass, Parke and Randolph counties had to buy brand-new voting machines, because there's no one left at VTI for customer support.
Indiana requires voting-machine companies to place the source code for their software in escrow for just such a circumstance, but it turned out to be no help, because VTI pledged its server to a Wisconsin Bank as collateral.
The bank agreed to let the counties use the server for last year's city elections, but has not renewed the offer for this year.
