Just found an article about voting machines in US.

Parts are manufactured here in the Philippines. Check this link: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2007/08/dan-rather-inve/

I'm not 100% sure if this is true...

That's highly probable, since it is featured by well-known and respected Dan Rather. Reading the article, it seems that these machines were made in our sweatshops whose workers are definitely underpaid and overworked in these factories. From the hundred thousand dollar profit that these contractors get, what the workers could only received less than 1 percent of what they could have paid for.

Per the report/article they say that the voting machines were defective, maybe that's another boo-boo to our products.
