12. MN is lucky to have paper to count as happened

in the Franken recount some years ago. But no electronic voting machine is incapable of being rigged or altered. If by hacking you mean altering the results or the programming remotely, it may be true that MN has primaries that "are not hackable by electronic means." But if you mean you can't use memory cards or other ways of altering the programming or a hundred other tricks available to the inner circle to illegally change election results, I don't think any electronic voting machine has that degree of sophistication. In any event, the manufacturer of the machine would perhaps have some insight as to how to change votes since they built the machines and developed the programming to make it seemingly work properly or improperly as the case may be.
