So, do you hack a ES&S system? Or a Sequoia Voting Systems machine? How about one from Diebold?

I think that the idea that one person can hack the vote is unrealistic.

Then you have to cover all the rest of the accusations being made... it's a prelude to an overthrowing of the government. The scenario listed in the OP is certainly not a one man show.

real hackers don't use sigs
