6. I doubt that Leon was hacked

Ion Sancho, the previous Supervisor of Elections, had worked with activists testing if the scanning software was vulnerable. When he found out how easily it was hacked he tried to buy new machines, but was blocked by the election machine manufacturers. He was always VERY aware of how vulnerable election systems were and I suspect that his successor, who had been trained by Mr. Sancho, is just as aware.

The quote in the OP includes this: "Two people in Florida said they suspect the second hacked elections office was in a mid-sized county on the East Coast of the state."

My personal opinion - based on no evidence or inside knowledge - is that it could have been Volusia or Broward Counties.
