UNbelievable: nothing is safe from hackers--except computer voting machines?

These machines being unhackable is laughable to every security researcher. Currently, there's no possibility to create unhackable devices. The chances of being hacked increase drastically when the device is connected to the internet. There were (and probably still are), for example, critical flaws in security chips like Google Titan M, which are types of projects led by multinational corporations that have the best of the best security researchers. Titan M for example has a thermal sensor, that tracks temperature transients as a form of possible tampering. All of that is to securely unlock your phone, so you can take a photo of your kid or text a friend... Just imagine how extreme standards SHOULD be enforced on vote-counting machines.

If you take into account how pretty much everything we use as electronic devices has some built in backdoor, intentional design flaw in both the software, hardware or both, then I would say voting machines would not be exempt from this.
Hardware back-doors exist !
In fact, if there ever were any device that was built to have these "back-doors" intentionally built in, I would expect voting machine to be the number one candidate.
Also, the PTB probably don't even bother with the security of voting machines, given :
