Product Description

HACKING DEMOCRACY takes a nonpartisan, clear-eyed look at the secrecy, cronyism, and incompetence of elections in present-day America as it captures a citizen's movement intent on taking back elections--and democracy itself.

Amazon.com

Hacking Democracy tells the tale of a modern-day David and Goliath. On one side stand three corporations in the voting machine business, led by Diebold. On the other stands Bev Harris, a concerned citizen from Seattle. When touch-screen voting machines are installed in her community, she decides to do some research. Harris discovers that black boxes aren't exactly fool-proof-far from it. As technology experts attest, the code is vulnerable to manipulation. Worse yet, after-the-fact changes are undetectable. So, Harris forms a grass-roots organization and proceeds to dig deeper. If that means dumpster-diving, so be it. Starting in 2004, Simon Ardizzone and Russell Michaels accompany Harris around the country to document her mission. Over the course of three years, they find several troubling instances of corporate malfeasance and computer malfunction. Foremost among consequences, her findings lead the State of California to file criminal charges against Diebold. Since most American votes are counted by computer, this isn't a trivial matter. Like This Film is Not Yet Rated, which reveals the inner workings of the MPAA, Hacking Democracy sheds light on a secretive process that affects all Americans--even those unfortunates who can't be bothered to vote. After all, they still have to live with the results, accurate or otherwise. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

A MUST WATCH!

May 30, 2017

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

This is why we need to go back to paper ballots counted by hand. The Russians hacked our elections and the current method of voting puts us in danger of the private corporations that DO NOT allow even the government to review the programming of these machines. Technology has bitten us in many cases, we should NOT risk that which is at the heart of our democracy by allowing these private corporations to have total control over our votes. We should vote by methods that allow our votes to be counted as cast which also has the ability to do recounts, not the case with many of the voting machines used today. Contact your Sec of State office to fight to change how we vote. Do it now! The Russian certainly do have the ability to hack these machines, in spite of what government officials say, including your sec of state. Get petitions to get this issue on ballots statewide to change and protect our right to vote.

Why don't the major news channels come clean and speak ...

Why don't the major news channels come clean and speak of this type of goings on instead of trying to sweep it under the rug? Both the political parties have long stated that our electoral system is flawed. It reminds me of the old story of the emperor wearing no clothes. Why pretend that it is not happening when it is common knowledge that our voting system can be hacked or misused by those dark elements in our society?

Watch & Recommend to Every Voter You Know!

Format: Prime VideoVerified Purchase

Every American should watch this! Shocking and leaves the viewer with a queasy feeling in the pit of your stomach! We need to pay more attention to our voting systems and make them more accurate and accountable to the voters. Hand counts in public the night of elections would be the "gold standard."

The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice,nobody seems to care......

Interesting film.I have been very interested in the work of Bev Harris for a very long time. It always felt like the game was rigged and now I can say I know why.
Great film ,depressing and sad sure but great as well because it's so eye opening.
Think one person one vote is accurate? Check this film out then go look at the website Black Box Voting. It will open your eyes wide.

This a must watch!

Eye opening. Doesn't matter what political party, third party or independent voter this is a must watch. For anyone already in the "I don't trust voting results", this is still a must watch - simply to learn how elections can be rigged.

A good movie for everyone who loves democracy

July 7, 2007

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I am an extreme left-leaning Democract. Frankly, I'm more Socialist than anything else, at least on many issues. Like many in the party, I was entirely inked that the Bush Bunch managed to steal the Florida elections. I kept referring to him as "The Pretender-in-Chief" for most of his first term.

When the 2004 elections happened, they were messy and foul, but I assumed that at least, sucky though the results were from my point of view, Bush had won legitimately.

Then I saw this film.

Wow.

You know, if even a small amount of what's presented in this movie is true, we have a major problem on our hands. I suspect a lot more than a small amount is true, which makes it even worse.

Ultimately in our democracy we have to trust our elections, even if we can't trust anything else. Given how easy it appeared to be for the Finnish hacker to get into the system, and the comments from the Diebold executive about making sure Ohio would go for Bush, and a number of other things in the movie, I've come to the conclusion that we cannot trust our elections.

One of my friends is a Republican. A gay, neo-conservative, ditto-head, knee-jerk Republican. Imagine Anne Coulter as a not-very-attractive man, and you're on the right track. I've tried to get him to watch this movie and he simply carps about how the Democrats only care about election fraud now that it's the Republicans doing it.

I think he misses the point rather a bit.

The movie is a little overpriced, but well worth the purchase by people of any party. Like I said, we need to trust our elections, or what do we have?

We were pleasantly surprised to discover this informative non-partisan documentary. Bev and her group have been instrumental in exposing and thereby correcting voter fraud by both parties.
