2. I'm not a computer expert, but what's the difference really between
internet voting and voting on machines which are also subject to the same sort of hacking and vulnerabilitieis?

The machines are most easily rigged or maliciously programmed or the vote totals maliciously altered by insiders but experts probably could do the same thing if they had access to the machines at any point.

What am I missing?
