Electronic voting machines count about 87% of the votes cast in America today.
But are they reliable? Are they safe from tampering? From a current
congressional hearing to persistent media reports that suggest misuse of data
and even outright fraud, concerns over the integrity of electronic voting are
growing by the day. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is
America\'s democracy. The timely, cautionary documentary HACKING DEMOCRACY
exposes gaping holes in the security of America\'s electronic voting system.

In the 2000 presidential election, an electronic voting machine recorded minus
16,022 votes for Al Gore in Volusia County, Fla. While fraud was never proven,
the faulty tally alerted computer scientists, politicians and everyday
citizens to the very real possibility of computer hacking during elections.

In 2002, Seattle grandmother and writer Bev Harris asked officials in her
county why they had acquired electronic touch screen systems for their
elections. Unsatisfied with their explanation, she set out to learn about
electronic voting machines on her own. In the course of her research, which
unearthed hundreds of reported incidents of mishandled voting information,
Harris stumbled across an \"online library\" of the Diebold Corporation,
discovering a treasure trove of information about the inner workings of the
company\'s voting system.

Harris brought this proprietary \"secret\" information to computer security
expert Dr. Avi Rubin of Johns Hopkins University, who determined that the
software lacked the necessary security features to prevent tampering. Her
subsequent investigation took her from the trash cans of Texas to the
secretary of state of California and finally to Florida, where a
\"mini-election\" to test the vulnerability of the memory cards used in
electronic voting produced alarming results.

As the scope of her mission grew, Harris drew on the expertise of other
computer-science experts, politicians and activists, among them: Andy
Stephenson, candidate for secretary of state in Washington state; Susan
Bernecker, Republican candidate in New Orleans; Kathleen Wynne, an activist
from Cleveland; Dr. Herbert Thompson, chief security strategist, Security
Innovation, Inc.; Ion Sancho, supervisor of elections for Leon County, Fla.;
and Harri Hursti, a computer-security analyst. Academics, public officials
and others seen in interview footage include: Deanie Lowe, supervisor of
elections, Volusia County, Fla.; Mark Radke, marketing director of Diebold;
David Cobb, presidential candidate, Green Party; and Rep. Stephanie
Tubbs-Jones of Ohio.

Diebold software, or other software like it, is installed in thousands of
counties across 32 states. David Dill, professor of computer science at
Stanford, says the problem is that there are \"lots of people involved in
writing the software, and lots of people who could have touched the software
before it went into that machine. If one of those people put something
malicious in the software and it\'s distributed to all the machines, then
that one person could be responsible for changing tens of thousands of
votes, maybe even hundreds of thousands, across the country.\"

In Florida, Leon County supervisor of elections Ion Sancho presided over a
trial \"mini-election\" to see if the vote could be hacked without being
detected. Before votes were actually cast, computer analyst Harri Hursti
\"stuffed the ballot box\" by entering votes on the computer\'s memory card.
Then, after votes were cast, the results displayed when the same memory
card was entered in the central tabulating program indicated that fraud
was indeed possible. In other words, by accessing a memory card before an
election, someone could change the results -- which Diebold had denied was
possible.

Ultimately, Bev Harris\' research proved that the top-secret computerized
systems counting the votes in America\'s public elections are not only
fallible, but also vulnerable to undetectable hacking, from local school
board contests to the presidential race. With the electronic voting
machines of three companies -- Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia -- collectively
responsible for around 80 percent of America\'s votes today, the stakes
for democracy are high.
