Facts ! 7 has been unsupported for what 2 years now ? Don’t even get me started on the rest running off 5.25 and backing up to tape. But yeah every “credible” publicly traded enterprise updated in the last couple years mandatory 10 / 2016 etc - because of wait for it (security concerns). Not the government with the biggest most bloated budgets available... I’m guessing taxpayers sunk billions into this voting software / hardware and it probably cost about the same as used Honda Civic with 250k miles and salvage title to roll out.

I mean, Linux would be so much better. They aren't using it as a computer, it should be the interface to the voting software and nothing else.

Or seL4 kernel with GenodeOS? We are talking about security here.
