I am reasonably sure that the original EVACS was written at least partly by Andrew Tridgell. Which means that it is (was?) probably unbreakable, unsinkable and uncrackable, regardless of operating system or development language. If it can be powered and programmed, Tridge can make it work. However, while the original EVACS was partly or fully open source, the people Tridge partnered with (Software Improvements) to create it were not so altruistic; IIRC they redeveloped the software into an entirely proprietary system, which they also called "EVACS". Whether they did actually redevelop it or whether they just said they did so they could close it and start selling GPLed code is a matter for conjecture. Proprietary voting systems are by definition not trustworthy.
