<http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120825/NEWS0106/308250098&Ref=AR>"An 
Ohio state auditor's report in late 2011 offered Butler County officials 
a choice that seemed a sure-fire Election Day win: get rid of 
problem-plagued voting machines, replace them with a more reliable 
system and save about $905,000 a year in the process. The only problem: 
Butler County couldn't afford it."
