There's lots of different software involved here. They said "the election management components are built with Ruby on Rails".

I don't want to get into an argument about the security of the Rails framework specifically - as an active developer I know there have been several issues - but I doubt anyone can guarantee that anything will be indestructible forever.

If you felt strongly about it and wanted to rewrite that portion of their codebase in another language and framework, I'm sure they would accept your code contribution.
