Yes I know what hacking is, and to quote you:

Quote:
"an attacker who gets physical access to a machine or its removable memory card for as little as one minute could install malicious code; malicious code on a machine could steal votes undetectably, modifying all records, logs, and counters to be consistent with the fraudulent vote count it creates. An attacker could also create malicious code that spreads automatically and silently from machine to machine during normal election activities — a voting-machine virus."


We were talking about physical access, not some kid using his parents PC.
The physical access method was only one of multiple attack vector mentioned!

And no, it takes a lot of non-computer savy individuals to steal an election on a medium scale, and the evidence is obvious, and traceable.
