Can Electronic Voting Machines(EVM) be hacked ?

Last week one challenge was given by Election commission of india to all the parties to hack the EVM. But one of the condition was not to touch EVM. I thought to post this question among you engineers and discuss it.
What should be the possibility of tempering an EVM without touching it ?

    Sure, it can be hacked; but it's far more difficult than what the political parties claim. If you are interested, read our exclusive interview with the man who was first in India to demonstrate how the Indian EVMs can be hacked: Mr. Hari K. Prasad - Hacking The Indian EVM

    For once, I'd not believe that the EVM can be hacked using wireless signals or without having physical access to it.
