"There has as of yet been no explanation from Wisconsin officials or St. Croix County officials as to why the majority of vote counting machines in the county have been visibly tampered with, and no one noticed during the original vote tally. Its possible that these seals could have been broken by a hacker who was reprogramming them to produce rigged or false vote totals, and its also possible that an election worker could have simply pried open the seals for some unknown reason that didnt involve malicious intent. But in any case, the broken tamper seals stand out as alarming and could serve as legal fodder for expanding the scope of the recount."
Do the labels look worn as Snopes is reporting? It's obvious that a screw was removed and the machine was opened from the broken seal.
