Before the elections the machines are tested to make sure they report accurately.
For it to happen they would have to to be breaking into the county offices where these are stored between the time they are tested and Election Day, a very very short window, pulling the machines out storage, firing them up, individually changing each one, powering them down, putting them back in storage and leaving without getting caught and while leaving no trace they were there.
And to do it on the scale needed to change the outcome of the election it would take doing that thousands of times in thousands of various county offices in a very short window of time between when the machines were tested and when the polls opened, without getting caught or slipping up and leaving any trace it happened.
Do you honestly think it's realistic to think that's possible?
