Voting Equipment Methods used by state and manner in which they function

BMDs

Ballot Marking Devices and Systems were developed in response to the federal requirement that, beginning in 2006, all polling places must provide a means for voters with disabilities to vote “privately and independently.” When this requirement was passed as part of the Help America Vote Act in 2002, direct recording electronic voting systems were the only voting machines available for this purpose. With the development of the AutoMARK, which was purchased and subsequently manufactured and marketed by ES&S. Hart Intercivic, Dominion, Unisyn, IVS, and Clear Ballot have since developed ballot marking devices for use with their paper ballot systems. In addition, New Hampshire and Oregon have developed unique ballot marking systems. While Ballot Marking Device (BMD) has become the generally accepted term for equipment that provides an interface to assist voters with disabilities in marking a paper ballot, the term “electronic ballot marker” has also been proposed to distinguish this equipment from earlier devices like those used to assist voters in punching chad from punch card ballots as well as non-computerized devices like the Vote-PAD.

Most ballot marking devices provide a touchscreen interface together with audio and other accessibility features similar to those provided with DREs, but rather than recording the vote directly into computer memory, the voter’s selections are indicated through a marking a paper ballot, which is then scanned or counted manually. Beginning with the introduction of the ES&S ExpressVote in 2016, manufacturers have begun to market BMDs expressly for use by all polling place voters, rather than primarily as an assistive device. The Dominion ImageCast X, the Hart InterCivic Touch Writer Duo, and the Unisyn Freedom Vote Tablet have been fielded in this “BMD for all voters” model, though they are all also used by some jurisdictions primarily as assistive devices.

Remembering when this took place..2 things came to mind..What country in their right mind would allow a foreign country to build voting machines for another country and why? This is no different than having a weapons system owned by a foreign country.

Secondly, shouldn't voting machine systems be uniform through the country? Seems like we could have a control system for the whole country instead of this being parsed differently in each state. Seems the only thing that should differ are the questions on each ballot for local and state races.
