Again, you are assuming no one noticed.prior. And some counties had under 800 people registered to vote. Not unfathomable that none of the voters noticed that broken seal prior.
You are also assuming that seal could be easily viewed during the voting process. Yet is is possible that the machine was situated in such away that the seal could not be easily viewed by voters.

A broken seal is cause for concern and warrants an investigation. I would not assume that my mere opinion about the effectiveness of an "amateur" hack attempt should be accepted as fact. |
