Is there an inadvertent strength against systemic hacking since the US has so many different types of voting machines and laws?

Each of our states have their own rules and procedures, but there are only a small number of equipment vendors for the vast majority of votes cast. This means, in practice, that we can't depend on diversity as much of a security mechanism. Instead, we need better process and procedures (like risk limiting audits!) to help mitigate against some of the threats we face.
