Is there a good list of voting machines by state/county somewhere?

I realize in some states the voting machines are uniform (my home state CT, for example) and in some states they aren't (my current state AZ, or even Florida/Ohio).

Is there a document or website or something which details the types of voting machines each state or county uses, for instance telling us if it is paper/lever/optical/electronic/whatever?

Also, is there a similar list of which states have Diebold/ES&S/Sequoia voting machines?

I'm very visually-oriented, so maps would help.

I was thinking, something like this could aid RFK Jr. and others trying to get out the message about election fraud.

2. I think it's mostly optical, if not absentee here

Except the county east of Maricopa, which I understand is electronic (yikes). Can't remember the name, but it's the only county in the state to use it.

Of course, I have to wonder how safe optical ballots are, too.

We could really stand to take some of the government security guards at airports and instead put them in polling places, and charge them with protecting all voting equipment and voters.

3. It's a VERY difficult proposition to get everything up to date.

Verified Voting is working on it. Remember, most counties got new machines this year, so everything is in flux.

I asked for and received a paper ballot when I voted a few weeks ago-I was the first to ask at my polling place at around noonish

hope this is what you want
