Besides, given what most of us know about government efficiency, would you WANT the government to be designing and building voting machines? Be careful of what you wish for, as you may get it!
Much of what people "know" about government efficiency is wrong. I'm not saying that there isn't inefficiency in government, but people underestimate how inefficient the private sector is. A couple years ago a study was done that found that in the private U.S. health care system, a lower percentage of the money going in goes to actual health care than in the Canadian government-run system. The rest of the money went to bureaucracy and (in the U.S. case) corporate profits. This is just one example of the private sector being less efficient than government.
