(615 posts)The internet isn't required to hack a voting machine.
We know that some of these machines come equipped with wifi and/or bluetooth enabled cards in them. We know that some states require them and some states ask that they be removed. What we don't know for sure is if all of them that were supposed to be removed were in fact removed on election day or frankly any of the days leading up to election day.
Also any machine with a port of any sort on them is susceptible to hacking. All it takes is for someone to insert a device into that port and for the program to run which could possibly take very little time. This isn't something that would necessarily need to be done during the voting process it could be done before hand and the hack writes logic into the code that flips ever X vote from D to R and then removes itself from the code at X time. ]]There likely would be fingerprints left behind but we don't know because there is nothing being done to check.
