Channel Title: Hacking Democracy Channel Description: The official YouTube Channel for Hacking Democracy, the Emmy nominated documentary following a group of citizens as they try to find out how America's votes are counted. What they discover is a shocking disregard for elections and the will of the voters. <video> Hacking Democracy - the beginning Description: This is the opening ten minutes of 'Hacking Democracy', HBO's Emmy nominated film that proved America's elections can be stolen using a few lines of computer code. The film climaxes with the live, on-camera hacking of the Diebold voting machines -- the computers which will count America's votes in the 2016 November elections.

The film the Diebold corporation doesn’t want you to see, this revelatory journey follows tenacious Seattle grandmother Bev Harris and her band of extraordinary citizen-activists as they set out to ask one simple question: How does America count its votes? From Florida and California to Ohio and Washington State, filmmakers Simon Ardizzone, Russell Michaels and Robert Cohen starkly reveal a broken system riddled with secrecy, incompetent election officials, and electronic voting machines that can be programmed to steal elections. Equipped only with a powerful sense of righteous outrage, the activists take on voting machine industry, exposing alarming security holes in America’s trusted voting machines. They even go dumpster diving at a county election official’s office in Florida, uncovering incendiary evidence of miscounted votes. But proving our votes can be stolen without a trace culminates in a duel between Diebold voting machines and a computer hacker from Finland – with America’s democracy at stake. 'Hacking Democracy' was nominated for an Emmy award for Outstanding Investigative Journalism. "Disturbing stuff. . . It's not shocked-shocked you feel watching this; it's genuine shock.' - The New York Times “It is hard to imagine a documentary that is more important to the civic life of the nation — let alone one that is so compelling and ultimately moving" - Baltimore Sun After we filmed the 'Hursti Hack' California's Secretary of State ordered an investigation. The best computer scientists at UC Berkeley analysed the Diebold voting machines' computer source code. The UC Berkeley Report can be found here: https://www.supportthevoter.gov/files/2013/09/VSTAAB-Security-Analysis-of-Diebold-AccuBasic-Interpreter-2006.pdf Page 2 of the report states: "Harri Hursti's attack does work. Mr. Hursti's attack on the AV-OS is definitely real. He was indeed able to change the election results by doing nothing more than modifying the contents of a memory card. He needed no passwords, no cryptographic keys, and no access to any other part of the voting system, including the GEMS election management server." We hope that as many people as possible will vote because the bigger the turnout the harder it is for someone to rig the total national results. </video> <video> Hacking Democracy Trailer Description: The film the voting machine corporations don’t want you to see!
