"Did you know that US Presidential Elections use 10M+ voting machines"

Not that the number of voting machines has any influence on the ease with which electronic voting can be manipulated, but less than 130M votes (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_S...), distributed over 10M+ machines? That's less than 13 votes per machine, on average. if that is true, someone has been overspending seriously on hardware.

Hm. Perhaps I remember incorrectly, and it was not 10M machines, but 10M votes "counted" through those machines.
