I remember someone saying here that a key shift in framing in Germany was to call them voting computers rather than voting machines (since the broader public understands that computers can be hacked). I think we might adopt that as well.

I guess it should be pointed out that voting computers have effectively been banned by the constutional court in Germany in 2009, probably in part as a result of that framing.
