Funny how the voting machine portion is pretty much ignored in favor of other industries even though the voting machine unit controls nearly the entire US election process.

You know them by more common words like:
Hamilton Sundstrand, Sykorsky helicopters, Black Hawk helicopters, Pratt and Whitney jet engines, and other businesses from elevators to airconditioners. UTX is one of the largest companies in the world, and is usually in the top 5 political contributing corporations.

Of the conglomerates, UTX is the 4th largest by market cap, weighing in at $69 billion.
