Unfortunately, I don't think there is a central resource ... Here's what we
have handy:

There was an excellent July 2001 report by GW's Institute for Communitarian
Policy Studies that did an early cost-benefit analysis of various
technologies, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore (dead link at
http://www.gwu.edu/~icps/ReportonElectionSystemsReform.pdf).

A recent report from New Yorkers for Verified Voting
(http://www.nyvv.org/doc/CostComparisons.pdf) lists some recent costs.

You can also find a copy of Seqouia's contract with Santa Clara County, CA
at http://verify.stanford.edu/dill/EVOTE/santaclaracontract.pdf.

Generally, however, cost data appears to surface anecdotally as part of
advocates' arguments for and against certain machines.

Anyone else with more comprehensive and/or reliable data is encouraged to
submit it to the list.

Does anyone know where I can find cost estimates for various models of 
voting machines? Any help would be appreciated.  SJM
