What extra metadata are you referring to ? We already know the votes and times so I would hope that is the full extent of data collected by the voting machines

  Voting machines are computers. Every computer has tons of logs stored all over the place. Printing out ballots creates logs, processing ballots creates logs, receiving/sending data creates logs, uploading/downloading data creates logs. The servers managing all incoming/outgoing vote data has logs, loading the votes into other software creates logs. The ISP transmitting the data has logs, etc, etc, etc. Why not gather all this metadata, and see if it aligns with the actual vote data?

    Could this break anonymity or otherwise be misused?

      Misuse? We should be more worried about "misuse" that impacts the outcome of an election.
