You forgot all the back doors and algorithms, however, that would not hit the 17M mark. What is probably the bulk of code is obfuscation and dead code, so those doing the code reviews will just give up and give it an OK. Oh, and don't forget all those big copyright header comments... /s
I would wager, that if I could get a glance at the code, finding Clean Code would be less likely than winning the lottery.
Agree 100% with you on paper ballots. Electronics have no place in the bigger elections, where there is a lot at stake.
Well, I was tounge in cheek, but by obfuscation I mean bloated and ugly code that hide what it really does, unless you either are in the know, or spend an eternity walking through the webs of useless algorithms.
Yeah, I'm 25+ sw-dev as well.

Yes, obfuscation most likely.
