There's a lot more to elections than just the tabulators. Maps, databases, candidate filings, calendars, ballot production, voter guides, signature management, poll books, reports, ballot tracking, translation services, etc. Since the collapse of the touchscreen business, the new business model is rent seeking on steroids. Charging jurisdictions per unit prices for every single one of those tasks and artifacts. Every voter every election, whether the voter cast a ballot or not. On the stump, I explained that "citizen owned software" applies to both the intellectual property and the business model.
