    Voting machines are easily rigged

    Watch a documentary on the history and ease of rigging voting machines . This documentary initially made on the heels of russia hoax but is a blueprint for future hacking and rigging elections in the USA.

    Very well produced and totally believable

    As an electrical engineer, I can see the vulnerabilities and am in shock that our government is ignoring this clear and dangerous threat!!

    PAPER BALLOTS is a MUST!

    No ifs ands or buts about it- EVERY voting machine is vulnerable.

    BOTH Republicans and Democrats politicians should want to get rid of voting machines- those who disagree need to be educated- if they still disagree they should never be able to run for office.

    EVERYONE knows Kemp is a dirty politician, especially now with the new documentary "2000 Mules" (2022) I say this as a Democrat that voted for Donald Trump.

    We should make voting day (NOT days) a national holiday. If well organized paper ballots can be used and counted.

    The film is skewed from a Democrat perspective.

    Watching this ahead of election is funny

    This sequel or follow up to Hacking Democracy (documentary from 2006) is not being taken seriously enough. All discussions in American politics repeat every 2 or so year, just changing sides depending who won and who lost.

    This documentary captures how easy it is to manipulate the votes pretty well. As technology moved forward, so did the security holes. It is inconceivable to have a voting machine that serves as a black box, that is relying on external data input while having data processing inside or even data link for updates that connects to intranet of some sort.

    I am glad my country is using good old fashion paper thrown into a sealed box and people count it at the end of the voting day.

    Excellent Documentary

    No spoilers at all. Riveting in the sense that it is absolutely enlightening. This would definitely qualify in the must see category.

    Harri Hursti is extremely qualified on the subject and lays everything out so anyone could understand.

    Extremely recommended.
