Electronic voting machines themselves are not connected to the internet. I don't think software development in this field is that retarded. They can still be hacked of course, but the delivery mechanism would at least be some local network or more likely compromised firmware upload. Most likely some computer somewhere in the chain of voting machine counts -> official "verified" vote totals is connected, but you could say that of vote rolls coming from manual punch ballots as well. A lot of people suggest the solution is for electronic voting machines to produce at least an actual vote paper trail, but I don't see that helping as a hacked machine could spoof those just as well as bits.
