What saddens me about that business, is that the criticism against certain voting machine companies in the US is considered "anti-democratic conspiracy theories" while the same criticism against the very same companies in other countries is considered "pro-democratic". The thing is, these companies are running the elections like a black box, Princeton University already has shown it is easy to hack Diebold machines for example, and we had very suspicious cases in other countries (for example voting machines in a state election in Brazil registered more votes than voters, and the amount of "invalid" votes, absentees and "blank" votes were all identical, when someone asked for a recount the response of the government was to say the machines must be trusted and fine the shit out of the candidate that complained, for "education purposes.")
