8. They use the Optical Scanners. They have paper ballots and they're fed into the machine that tallies
the votes.

<snip>
In June 2005, the Tallahassee Democrat reported that when given access to Diebold optical scan vote-counting computers, Black Box Voting, a nonprofit election watchdog group founded by Bev Harris, hired Finnish computer expert Harri Hursti and conducted a project in which vote totals were altered, by replacing the memory card that stores voting results with one that had been tampered with. Although the machines are supposed to record changes to data stored in the system, they showed no record of tampering after the memory cards were swapped.<snip>

Totals could have been changed on the printout too.

Also...the 14,000 votes found today, were from DREs.....even easier to hack.

There are MANY, MANY more people here here know MUCH more about this issue than I do. I just remember being here on DU when this was all discovered and investigated. Hopefully, they'll chime in. :)
