The links I’ve provided don’t say what you claim.
The security problems have been noted, among computer security experts. The other problems are significant, too.
Here’s the GAO report:

“Security, while important, happens to be one of those places where voting machines actually have not proven to fail,” Bederson says. “However,”
here it is again.
Thanks for the GAO link!
I’m not the best reader, though, could you please show me where it says that?
It does say that you must treat the system like any other technology:
In GAO’s view, the challenges faced in acquiring and operating electronic voting systems are not unlike those faced by any technology user—adoption and application of well-defined system standards; effective integration of the technology with the people who operate it and the processes that govern this operation; rigorous and disciplined performance of system security and testing activities; reliable measurement of system performance; and the analytical basis for making informed, economically justified decisions about voting system investment options. These challenges are complicated by other conditions such as the distribution of responsibilities among various organizations and funding opportunities and constraints. Given the diffused and decentralized allocation of voting system roles and responsibilities across all levels of government, addressing these challenges will require the combined efforts of all levels of government, under the leadership of the EAC. To assist the EAC in executing its leadership role, GAO has previously made recommendations to the commission aimed at better planning its ongoing and future activities relative to, for example, system standards and information sharing. While the EAC agreed with the recommendations, it stated that its ability to effectively execute its role is resource constrained.
