Hacking Democracy (Film)
Showtime: October 15th, 12:30 p.m. (81 min.)
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. Documents American citizens investigating anomalies and irregularities with ‘e-voting’ (electronic voting) systems that occurred during America’s 2000 and 2004 elections, especially in Volusia County, Florida. Nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism.
“It is hard to imagine…a documentary…more important to the civic life of the nation.”
