Haha, thanks. There's no doubt China, Russia, or even Britain would love the power to alter US votes, and would do so if given the chance. Also no doubt is that hacking espionage is rampant.

That's why it would be insane to connect voting machines to the Internet. If anyone proved this occurred with any regularity, it would be a huge security concern, and would never pass technical muster in the real world. There's no functional need for a voting machine to be connected to the Internet. Let's remember there were voting machines before all devices were Internet-enabled.

Not exactly true. An honest manufacturer would love to have that functionality to do software updates remotely to thousands of machines, debug problems/issues while some election entity is testing new ballot layouts, troubleshoot issues when the election worker clicks button X and something blows up. Sending people onsite is extremely expensive. The problem is regardless of those convenience advantages, their are just way to many possibilities for mischief so you have to JUST SAY NO, and keep that door closed.
