Winnebago County rejects grant for voting machines
May 17, 2006
OSHKOSH — The Winnebago County Board narrowly rejected a proposal to accept $294,000 in grant funding for touch-screen voting machines based on concerns regarding the integrity of the system.
The board Tuesday fell two votes short of the necessary 26 votes required to accept the funding for the purchase of 49 Diebold touch-screen machines.

Supervisors Bill Wingren and Jef Hall came out strongly against the purchase of the Diebold machines
based on issues including reported high failure rates and the potential that the machines could be hacked.
