A MUST WATCH!
May 30, 2017
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.

Too heavy-handed

Too heavy-handed for me.

Objectively informative

Even though this movie is 10+ years old, it's highly relevant today. You would think our voting system would have been corrected and changed for the better after this expose, but you'd be wrong. This should be required viewing for every patriotic citizen of our country.

This little HBO documentary, nominated for an Emmy in 2007, follows the investigations of Seattle grandmother Bev Harris into the irregularities and outright fraud perpetrated by Diebold Election Systems Inc., who with Election Systems & Software (ES&S, who bought DESI in 2009) control over 80% of the electronic polling places in America. Harris's research proved that Diebold machines could be altered -- with no audit trail -- to produce incorrect vote totals. With the aid of several computer security experts, Harris demonstrates at least four different methods of election tampering; all totally untraceable. She catches Diebold executives on camera telling falsehoods about the reliability and security of their systems. She films them perjuring themselves before Congress.
Diebold of course denies all charges.
Yet there were counties in the 2004 US Presidential election which delivered NEGATIVE vote totals (less than zero votes) for John Kerry. Several critical jurisdictions reported extreme swaps in vote lead as counting progressed from 70% complete to 98% complete (and curiously always toward the Republican candidate). Exit polls in both 2000 and 2004 differed markedly from the official election results in most states across the country. Curious at best.
Sinister at worst. Diebold officials were huge fundraisers for Bush and stated publicly in 2003 that they were "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year." Granted, CEO Walden O'Dell later backpedaled and stated he only meant to advance Bush's re-election through advocacy, but any public partisan stance by the manufacturer of untraceable vote counters should raise concern among voters and election officials.
Of course this is all history now. The massive 2000 and 2004 election irregularities have been well-documented in many places. It's good to remind ourselves however, going into 2012, that many of these problems appear to be still awaiting a fix.

Fast shipping, item as described, but most of all great documentary. This should be required viewing for all americans! We do not live in a democracy, our elections are rigged. I will never vote again as long as these computorized voting machines are used.

I was blown away by this documentary.
It displays how easy it would be for people to hack into our electronic voting machines and change the vote count, and tracks many cases where this appears to have happened.
This is the most important documentary in America!
