"Why do you believe that a computer must be on a network to be 'hacked'? "
I don't know. Given 20+ years of IT experience, much of it having to do with programming & security. In addition to the time that could be alotted to individually hacking a machine while people are waiting in line to vote, plus the number of machines that have to be hacked to receive the results the Democrats seem to claim are nationwide.
Aside from that, unless there are massive breakins the level of fraud the Democrats claim would have to occur on a network level.
Then again, the Democrats didn't make any fraud claims this election like they did when they lost the Whitehouse in 2004 and congress in 2002. Which tells me one thing. VOTING FRAUD BY DIEBOLD IS A MYTH!!!!
Computers can be hacked before they're ever connected to a network. Some of the votefraud systems in use actually have wireless connectivity, too. The belief that this problem would be a myth because someone didn't notice that the problem has been exposed for awhile is a non sequitur.
