Just like the Pennsylvania SOS threatened, auditing the machines renders them uncertifiable (don't worry, they'll find the rule soon), so of course they need new ones. The old ones've been contaminated with cooties from uncertified auditors, and besides, it's not like they're spending their own money.
If renting out voting machines is allowed, then why spend 3 million for NEW machines?
