E-Voting machines are nothing more than dilapidated, barebones PCs with zero endpoint security.

The local and state election tabulation process is so riddled with vulnerabilities that it only makes sense that foreign and domestic actors are attempting to manipulate the election.

Every conceivable layer of the election process is completely riddled with vulnerabilities, so yes, hacking elections is easy!

Consider all tabulation systems infected by bad actors until a third party, not affiliated with the manufacturer or election officials, proves they are secure.

Hacking a national election is simple. Exploit a vulnerability in the manufacturer's network, poison the tabulation software update with self-deleting malware and let the manufacturer send to their field reps and election consultants who update the election systems.

A Nation State or Cyber-Mercenary won’t hack e-voting machines one by one. This takes too long and will have minimal impact. Instead, they’ll take an easier approach like spear phishing the manufacturer with malware and poison the voting machine update pre-election and allow the manufacturer to update each individual machine with a self-deleting payload that will target the tabulation process.
