“Hacking democracy” movie

Hacking Democracy will be shown at the Odd Fellows Hall on Orcas Island Saturday, Jan. 26 at 7:00. Electronic voting machines count about 87 percent of votes cast in the United States. 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. And if the voting process is not secure, neither is our democracy. Hacking Democracy exposes gaping holes in the security of electronic voting systems.
