Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) typically don't have a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) like a typical computer. However, the absence of a GPU doesn't mean they are immune to security threats. Here's why: 1. Software Vulnerabilities: EVMs run on specialized software, and like any software system, they can have vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities could be exploited by attackers to manipulate the voting process or compromise the integrity of the election. 2. Hardware Manipulation: Even though EVMs lack a GPU, they contain various other components, such as microcontrollers, memory chips, input/output devices, and communication interfaces. Attackers could tamper with these components to alter the behavior of the EVM or extract sensitive information. 3. Network Connectivity: While some EVMs don't have network connectivity, others may have communication capabilities for transmitting voting data. Any device with network connectivity is potentially vulner...
