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.
Yep, stripped down linux, netbsd or similar kernel with all the net drivers drivers stripped out.
Or seL4 kernel with GenodeOS? We are talking about security here.
