In my opinion any software that can communicate with anything else then it self can be considered a "hacking tool" when used in a way as such. When connecting to an FTP, typing the wrong password. Is that a hacking tool? Many FTP software keeps trying even if the login attempt failed. Maybe Windows and its talkative SMB protocol may be considered a hacking tool as the built in authorization mechanism by default attempts to login to resources using "the current users credentials" before asking the user.
Where ever America instates democracy, they always enforce the use of paper votes so that they can be counted and recounted if necessary to prevent tempering with the votes.
... I think that tells everything there has to be told about e-voting.
