I realize this film isn’t new, but it was new to me tonight.

As we watched, the sickening realization dawned on us … that the eight years of the Bush presidency was almost without doubt illegal and hacked.

Questions still remain.

Why did John Kerry roll over and declare defeat?

Was this just a ‘test run’?

Could it happen again?

This film - ‘Hacking Democracy’ - left us stunned.

Summary from Netflix:

With electronic voting machines tabulating more than 80 percent of the ballots cast in America, Seattle grandmother Bev Harris set out to determine the obvious: Do they work? Based on the evidence presented here, the answer is “not really” The picture that emerges as Harris unearths a treasure trove of info about mishandled votes and the inner workings of the machines is that they’re not only fallible but also highly vulnerable to hacking.

If you care about the next election - state, federal or local - democrat or republican - you must watch this film.
