If a system has any way of getting data into/out of the system, it can be compromised. How exactly would you get the vote tallies and audit trail without I/O?
My point is there's nothing inherently insecure about USB. Having a Windows machine running on a secure network with autorun enabled is the problem. It could have just as easily happened with a CD or DVD or floppy.
Problem is also that even with autorun off, it only takes one person to inert a USB and run something on the network.
Even if Biden got such a big margin that he actually won and there was no cheating -- the chaos of this election is a BIG win for China which has been telling its population for decades that "democracy is bad, and elections are chaos."
I think you have to be naive to think they were not trying to mess things up. It is also pretty clear that we made it easy for them.

There are ways, but they are not as easy.
Not hard. Not a new technology, only not off the shelf stuff a kid could put together and sell to counties for big markups.

Yes, CD and DVD are same problem.
