Decent intro for neophytes to the issues surrounding election integrity in the age of paperless electronic voting machines, especially if it motivates people to get more information on election integrity, or, better yet, to join an election integrity organization (search for "election integrity" on the web). Nice vignettes of interviews with Bev Harris, David Dill, and other experts. But the movie left me scratching my head at the end when it basically suggested that voting was enough to cure our problems with voting. This was particularly puzzling since the movie had shown a clip of activists Bev Harris and Andy Stephenson being told the same thing by an obviously apathetic assistant Secretary of State. Yes, vote -- but join an election integrity organization, demand commitment to election integrity from candidates, and serve as a poll worker or watcher. Was that judged too complicated for a sound bite?
The movie website indicates that it will be renamed "Hacked," which is probably a better name. Hope there will be some editing and new material as well.
For a longer and more comprehensive film, see "Invisible Ballots."
