The complaints show that even though much of the public debate about voting machines has focused on whether they could be hacked, crummy software has the potential to undermine US elections as well. It's a problem for two reasons. First, it's nearly impossible to quickly patch bugs in voting machines when they appear this close to an election, experts said.
