At defcon this year they had a bunch of the popular electronic voting booths set up, and they were all hacked within 6 hours. A big problem is having physical access to the booth. All of the hacks involve picking a lock.

Given that the voting computers sit in some warehouse between elections, that's not really a big hurdle.
