4. Broken seals on electronic voting machines raise questions of tampering

~ Was a program inserted or the equipment re-programed to miscount the actual intended vote to favor a specific candidate ?

~ Were the internal workings tampered with to throw off the vote count total but untraceable ?

~ Were the tabulated votes adjusted or erased so the final vote count favors a specific candidate ?

A seal customarily indicates the machine has been tested, calibrated, and witnessed to work and function properly just before it is placed into service for an election. The seal assures the internal workings were not tampered with - a broken seal means someone accessed the internal workings of the electronic voting machine and signals a flashing red neon light that tampering with a free and fair election count was the intent of breaking the seal open.

Breaking and entering an electronic voting machine does not portend a free and fair election. The broken seal alerts you to that reality - or should.
