Because on all those other systems the stuff is 'added on' not 'BuiltIn'. Any time the stuff is added on, there is the opportunity to replaceor modify the added on components in such a way as to make the theresults appear one way but actually be another.

The voting machines themselves would be the simplest possible devices,perhaps even simply dumb GUI terminals.with the type of low costprinters used by bank tellers to print receipts. Cheap Cheap Cheap andnothing to hack. All data and everything but the presentation layerresides on i. As it should be.

Sounds like a great idea to me... But I've got to ask... Why do you
believe this couldn't be done w/Microsoft? Seems to me to be a design
solution to the problem that could be implemented in any system that
supported transaction logs (and BTW, the only system I know that doesn't
_require_ them is the iSeries).
