I agree, but this has become a republican talking point of election fraud conspiracy theories (which have proven in numerous neutral courts to be unsubstantiated). So now this issue has become poisoned and can't be discussed in any rational manner in the US. It's strange because I still remember how even back in 2006 the german CCC[1] demonstrated flaws[2] in the voting machines used in a german election, and successfully made the case in front of the german supreme court which declared their use illegal[3]. So this issue has a long history of opposition in the hacker community.
