and intimate connections (as in I've read the software from more than one vendor).

Nothing is post-certification. All changes have to go through a follow-up certification before they are implemented.

That's one of the reasons the call for open source software in the early 2000s was so dangerous. In theory open source software has the best ability to avoid security risks because anyone can see it and change it - so risks are corrected almost as soon as they are found. It works for things like computer operating systems.

But as a practical matter, in the election scenario, the fixes can't be implement before the software is recertified. That means the risks are known, publicized, and can be exploited for weeks to months before a fix can be implemented to stop the exploitation. In addition to financial motives, that's one of the reasons for proprietary software.
