that the state of California would own the code for the machines.
They balked and dared her to do something about it (IIRC)
So she started making plans to replace them. California got the code.

I won't swear that is totally accurate. The main thrust - that the voting machine companies bowed to her when everybody else in the country was bowing to the companies - I think is close.

From then on I have been a fan hoping one day she would be on the national scene.
