Difficulty of subverting voting machines
It seems to me that any system can be tampered with to render the vote dishonest. However, some configurations make such tampering very hard while others are much easier to subvert. You should talk about the relative difficulty and not whether or not hacking the system is theoretically possible.

Paper ballets and boxes have problems as well. The real issue is getting a system considerably safer than paper ballets and how much money do you want spend.
