> a field where programs don’t have logs, gateways don’t exist, checksums and securing data integrity is not a thing

Yes, that's the field of voting machine construction - it's lowest-bidder garbage built by and sold to people with no concept of reliability.



It's so bad that Diebold had to spin off and rebrand their voting machine division, out of fear that security and reliability issues with the EVMs would tarnish their main ATM business.


The ATM security is also pretty bad (and constantly plagued with skimmers), it's just that you can refund money but you can't refund votes.
