Hacking Democracy, to me, comes way out of left field, so when my friend recommended I was skeptical but willing to watch. The movie introduces you to voting fraud via a mother and some very dedicated watchdogs. The movie takes you through the personal fight of these people and never ceases to provide the big-picture as well.Come to the movie with an open-mind and take the ride. The movie does a good job of not coming off as extreme or radical and constantly roots itself in the moment. The people who are fighting for a more open system are very easy to identify with, and overall the movie succeeds in its goals.Hacking Democracy takes an extreme position, but does it with Apple Pie. 10/10

Wow, I didn't realize they made a documentary on this, This is how Busch won the all those time. It was in Florida votes where no counted and when recounted only 3% was (randomly). Why only 3% doesn't the 97% also count? This is America! Also same with 9/11 I started with the documentary "Loose Change" it brought up many questions, the more investigated and even more harder questions came about. America has been hijacked and not by terrorists, but by the people who are making money at the time.Why was Thermate ( a very powerful demolition explosive remains) found at all three WTC buildings? Why not a clear video of the Pentagon crash, the most guarded building in the world? Only a few frames of video and none show a plane? COVER UP COVER UP! Look it up for yourself and stop watching the tonight News. Unless you want more soldiers and innocent Iraqians to die......(oh by the way they kill children unarmed to)- they don't show that on the news.

I am a senior in high school and we watched Hacking Democracy in my government class. It's funny that we have a government class because even though the class is required by state law, the state gives no curriculum or work in our Government class. While i watched this movie i was blown away. What kind of people could over look such a huge glitch in, not only the voting machines, but in the U.S. Government system itself. I am very glad i watched this and everyone should see it. We are writing a reaction paper as an assignment that my teacher made up. Well, it's the most she could think of since she doesn't have any material to teach us. If you want your vote to count...i recommend the viewing of Hacking Democracy.

I just saw this documentary on HBO last night.The timing of this program could not have been more perfect. Right after Halloween, I was scared plenty.I had long been aware of many of the facts depicted. However, until I saw a hacker change the votes on a Diebold Memory Card before the votes were cast, and change the results of the test vote, I was neutral on this issue.We Americans who have been worried about this very issue have been culled into silence by those who would call our concerns "Conspiracy Theories" This film should dispel any such notion and wake up most citizens to demand more security in our voting process. The film depicts at least 3 major issues, from Al Gore actually receiving negative votes in Volusia County, FL, to the final coup de grace, the hacking of the actual memory card. Diebold Officials deny any such vulnerability, but they have no answer for the filmed facts. In fact, a well known politician from Colorado actually owns an interest in one of the voting machines known to contain serious vulnerability. This machine was used during his landslide election victory. It appears that optical scan ballots are the most easily hacked. Wake up, America, it's possible that our "free elections" are not really free at all, and we have absolutely no way to find out for sure. Write your Congressman and demand a serious investigation.We must not be complacent about our most fundamental democratic right! At the very least we must demand verifiable paper ballots to make sure our votes are not hacked.
