Are you referring to the press release linked in the article, because it doesn’t actually say those things.
Focussing further is just about the worst thing you can do - “secure erasure of digital footprints” is there a definition of what this is anywhere? Is there anything that suggests they were doing that on voting machines? Companies absolutely have a requirement to remove customer data on request in many jurisdictions - that would absolutely be covered by that statement. You’re take a very narrow statement (which, again, doesn’t appear to be in the linked press release) and blowing it up to meet the definition you want it to.
