Security flaws found in US e-vote machines

This is something I worte about before. It really interests me why one should want to use DRE systems which are undoubtedly, ehh, I mean not 100% safe, to have elections in which *everything* is based on thrustworthiness. What stroke me the most in the article however, is the Diebold machine makes use of an MS Access database to store its results in. Can you believe it? Access is fine for the use it is intended for, but for voting machines???
Disclaimer: we use MS Access as a front end to our database system, which works like a spark. However, the data is stored on SQL Server, which is much more reliable and robust. Imagine a database corruption after the last person has voted at the end of election day??? I would even think that maybe storing the results in a text file on an encrypted FileSystem is more secure and safe than storing it in Access. Or am I missing a point here??
