I know the point is moot now, but here is the full commission report: https://www.supportthevoter.gov/files/2014/01/Amer-Voting-Exper-final-draft-01-09-14-508.pdf It discusses the impending voting machine crisis. Also, Marion county tabled their plans to buy new machines: http://www.indystar.com/article/20140122/NEWS05/301220024/Marion-County-holds-off-voting-machine-upgrade I think this would have been a huge winner over the next few years, it's obvious why they would want full ownership right now. Such a cheap buyout.
