They can't spike electronic machines, for sure. But can they hack the results??

The butterfly ballot has to be replaced by something that will only accept one vote per person. It's keeping Democrat party alive.
In NY, we flick a switch. You only get to do it once.

Then there's the absentee. There has to be away to verify the people are real, not dead, citizens, and they only get one per voter.

So far, electronic seems to be the best bet, but somehow it has to be secured. That's the biggie.

Nothing is 'hackable' unless it has a Modem hooked up to it. Now there is probably the possibility that an election supervisor could go in there and change the votes but that would probably be somewhat difficult, when the votes appear instantly.
