County pays for vote system it hopes it never needs
Los Angeles County Supervisors vote 4-1 to pay IBM 87 406 for securing 44 600 voting machines kept as backup rather than using new compact devices due Feb 18. Kenneth Hahn opposed citing IBM as a major county customer. CAO Arthur Will and others warned of risks to the June 6 primary if replacements are delayed. Debs warned delays could force elections issues. Board had earlier approved switching to Computer Election System to save about 1.5 million over six years, with 97 466 paid as six percent of the saving.
