VOTING MACHINE DEMO--Joe McGinnis, right, of Election Systems & Software, gives Sen. Mark Mallory, D-Cincinnati, left, a demonstration of his firm's electronic voting machines, while Dan Shebesta looks on, at the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, Aug. 7, 2003. Sen. Mallory arranged for five vendors to demonstrate their machines for members of the General Assembly and county officials so that the state's eighty-eight counties may benefit from the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) which was passed by Congress in 2002. The HAVA will provide Ohio with $161 million to replace punch-card and lever machines with electronic ballots. (Jack Kustron/Photoj.com)
