yeah. Keep in mind these were currently active machines. Supposedly the results are stored locally on the machine and and not connected to internet. For this reason, anything that happened on the internet should not have affect the machines at all.

The problem is that if the machines are ever connected to the Internet—even for a moment—at any time—the hack can be done—even months before the election.
The hack just needs to identify the future date and time of the hack and the line numbers to be altered and by how much.
It wouldn’t even matter which Democratic candidate was running since it is the line number that is being altered.
