This is interesting. There is a small federal commission -- the EAC -- Election Assistance Commission -- small staff, small budget. They are responsible for establishing technical security requirements for voting equipment and voting processes. In 2012, they refused to certify the DS200 because of several vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, last January, House Republicans introduced a bill to abolish the EAC.
Here is an article that cites the EAC report on the DS200 -- I can't find the full report.
