9. Yes. Absolutely.

I give that loosely organized organization no credit for any ability to do something so audacious. If it doesn't involve simple DDOS scripts, they fail, and the voting machine business isn't at all vulnerable to that. Hacking voting machines requires actual physical presence, and the Anonymous script kiddies would have to leave their Cheetos bags in their moms' basements to go outdoors. The light would hurt their eyes, you see.
