Ok. Correct me if I'm wrong but... to make it all totally irrelevant you need:
1. One programmer to hack machines.
2. 1000 peoples (one per machines) to activate hack when it's needed.

No other stupid things are needed. No DA's and/or Judge's help, nothing. I'm not sure if it's easier or harder to do then to sabotage paper voting but it does not look like an "impossible barrier" to me. No amount of testing will help you against manual activation of "fraud mode", you know.

The machines are physically checked up and are disconnected (they don't have modems, wifi, or other communication devices); how do you propose to activate the "fraud mode" simultaneously in the minimum of 10.000 devices (the bare minimum to fraud a national election) in a country bigger than the continental USofA?
