Company says politics, not technology, drives decision-making by local election officials.

WEST WINDSOR — This West Windsor company has had a touch-screen electronic voting machine that can produce voter-verifiable paper trails — a receipt, per se — for several years.
But Avante International Technology, Inc. has sold only one machine.
Voters have fawned over the machines in test trials and at several live elections across the country. One machine is state- and federally certified, while a more improved version is federally certified and expects to be state-certified in about a month. It is competitively priced and the company can fill large orders for its machines.
Avante's machines are also secure, error-free, accessible and have a zero chance of residual votes being counted if used properly, its executives say.
