Of note while getting my own "Sauce"...
Memory sticks used to program Philly’s voting machines were stolen from elections warehouse Updated: September 30, 2020
The flash drives are encrypted to prevent tampering, and specifically matched with individual voting machines, said a spokesperson for Election Systems & Software, the voting machine vendor, adding: “Upon programming, these encryption keys ‘marry’ the USB with the machine, and if placed in another machine, it will cause an error and the machine will not work.”
AMAZING! You sound just like the spokesperson for Election Systems & Software.
Sounds like "padding the price" to me for such a minuscule thing.

Also, aren’t ‘encrypted USB drives’ just a matter of formatting and applying the proper software on the device and the USB drive? Mine is.

Yes, that’s the setup. Vendors that specialize in extremely niche hardware set the price since you are stuck with an ecosystem.
