The difference is that the manufacturers of ATMs and associated equipment are responsible to the banks for any problems that may arise. They, and the banks, have a very strong financial incentive to ensure that their sytems are secure and reliable. Plus, of course, if something does go wrong the bank will (eventually) take care of it for you. Is any of this true of voting machines?

Look up Mr. Rifkin. Hell that wasn' even ATM software.

You're implying that the bank will find it and an election board won't.

No better, no worse, as I said in my original post.
