Apparently our democracy depends on electronic voting machines so I am happy for the job security of voting merchants:
“Voting systems have a security life span. What's safe today may not be safe tomorrow. A good example of this is a FIPS 140-2 level military standards were cracked at the end of 2009. These were certified USB drives as secure as encrypted devices. And there was a fundamental flaw they were compromised. So immediately one of the vendors has been coding to fix that leak. And again the encryption or requirements were secure, but the way it was implemented was not. And it still got certified. We have the same in the voting industry. Vulnerabilities come to light after the fact.” --Dominion’s Eric Coomer at public hearing in California.
