The electronic voting machine company Election Systems & Software (ES&S) "agreed to a $750,000 settlement that resolves complaints filed after its software caused delays for some Indiana voters and election officials during the state's May primary," reports the Associated Press. The state's complaint, filed before the primary, charges ES&S with "providing defective equipment and services." ES&S vice-president John Groh said the company "had compiled a 'bible' of lessons learned from the Indiana situation and was changing some of its business practices." ES&S has retained the PR firm Fleishman-Hillard, according to O'Dwyer's. Fleishman-Hillard's Ken Fields told AP that ES&S does business in 46 U.S. states.
