If it emits a field and processes a signal it can be accessed. This has been accomplished via electrical circuits through conditioned lines, 3.5mm audio ports, and grounding cables to name a few. There are physical security companies respected in their field whose door access readers could be broken into with a screwdriver, a console cable and 15 seconds of spare time. Whole industries have ignored the work of the entire body of RFCs with regard to developing and designing industrial, commercial and IoT systems, buses, protocols and devices.
It's not just that these voting systems were insecure. Any system in the world can be compromised via insider threat if it's not encased in concrete and lead at the bottom of the ocean. It's that they're so damn exposed it's ridiculous -- exactly as obvious and shitty as everything else that's happened lately. Your speculation encompasses exactly jack and shit more than the others', and you're alleging "undervoting" when one candidate broke records while winning every important metric, and the other did NOT win any of those and somehow got 6 MILLION MORE votes from a record breaking TINY number of counties with withered support politically, no ground game, no ability to speak publicly and while receiving no criticism from any media or social media entity.
God knows we deserve what's coming, but I imagine it will be Trump who flinches at the last. Despite the tough act and the TV persona, he's too nice and too trusting for a president. I don't believe he'll be willing to make the call to plunge the country into the already inevitable conflict we're barrelling towards. Although, I suppose that makes him a good man, and to hell with everyone who blames him for failing while near-single-handedly dismantling the corruption. Ben Franklin had it right, and we did NOT keep the Republic.
