A voting machine company that represented the wave of the future for local elections after the Florida voting debacle of 2000 is apparently a thing of the past.

Cass County election officials received word from the Indiana Attorney General’s Office Friday that Voting Technologies Inc., or VTI, cannot be contacted at its Milwaukee area address. One employee of the company said he could not get a paycheck to clear for several days.

County Attorney John Hillis, who also serves on the County Election Board, said the company’s financial problems should not affect the May city primary in Logansport.

“I think Cass County is in good shape to have the primary election. It could be different in the fall,” he said.

1. This is a great story...they lost their vendor, non forwarding address.

Would it were only Diebold, ESS & Sequoia...and all their replacements...
