The voting machines that I've been able to briefly 'take a look at' were all "offline models", which reported to a central computer(s)/system(s) in the voting location. It's the state of that central computer(s)/system(s) which would probably be the largest concern in terms of 'remote worries'. The last such system that I was allowed to glance at (on the 2008 election voting day) definitely had an Ethernet connection going out to a wall-jack at the location.

Last I heard there were ~15 different manufacturer's being utilized around the globe...not certain how many total utilized in the U.S.
