There are hundreds if not more voting systems around California, mostly older GE Types. The old GE Signal to noise voters work great-Doug Hall (Hall Electronics) copied them and was selling his version of them, don't know if he is still doing so, and there are some never versions coming for commercial and public safety service in the near future from companies you will recognize.
