Unplug the modems

BlackBoxVoting reports that there's evidence that an election in King County, Washington, was hacked 6 weeks ago. The site urges election officials to unplug the modems from the voting machines now:

There is no down side to removing the modems. Simply drive the vote cartridges from each polling place in to the central vote-counting location by car, instead of transmitting by modem. “Turning off” the modems may not be sufficient. Disconnect the central vote counting server from all modems, INCLUDING PHONE LINES, not just Internet.
