The federal government could set certain minimum standards for voting machines used in federal elections. That would effectively set the standard for all elections since I can't imagine any local governments could justify a set of machines for federal elections and a different set for local.

Better yet, why doesn't DARPA design them and then the federal gov't outlaw any other voting machine, for any election.

They recently started a contest to design an election machine.

I wouldn't mind that.
