You need unobserved and unmolested access to the circuit boards in the voting machine. Give me unobserved and unmolested access to a paper ballot box and I can “hack” it also by simply stuffing it with premarked ballots. Much easier than splicing in a new electronic circuit.

Paper ballot boxes are generally supposed to be kept in view of election officials from all interested parties, or locked with separate locks for each party, are they not? Electronic voting machines, by contrast, are more likely to be placed in a private booth with a voter, and would thus be more readily tampered with.

Actually, I don't know why voting machines aren't designed so that the case can be secured with multiple independent padlocks (one per party)? If the machine just has a built-in lock, then anyone with the key must be trusted. By contrast, if a representative of each party puts a padlock on the machine, then unless all parties are crooked, the machine will be tamper-proof.
