The true story of computer programmer Clint Curtis who, in 2000, claims he was asked by future Congressman Tom Feeney (R,Fl.) to create vote-rigging software for Florida’s electronic voting machines. Join investigative journalist/blogger Brad Friedman as he pokes at the seamy side of our democracy in this riveting documentary. The high-tech scandal evolved into a real-life murder mystery.

We were asleep when all ghis was happening- literally- life was pretty good. We didn’t even know who Dominion was or that in fact, with the encourage of Republican Deep State , they would become the Google of election systems.
There are many familiar faces in here-particularly the infamous Harri Hursti who deleted forensic audit materials & also appears in 2 other 2006 election pieces- HBO’s Hacking Democracy and HBOMAX 2020 release KillChain.
I recommend all three productions- this is not a slick documentary like Kill Chain- but it certainly carries as much heft especially today. Trump was right. Elections have been rigged & the RINOS were to blame since 2000.

I think this documentary should be required viewing for all political science students. It takes the disguises off what is presumed to be democracy and reveals the seamy underside of politics. Very little has changed in terms of our diligence to make sure our elections are fairly counted and recorded. Obviously, if the vote is counted in secrecy and in 95% of the cases never audited or verified in any way, there’s really no meaning to a democracy. The frustrating thing about it is that so few people are even aware of this documentary or of events described and the significance of this whole story. This leads me to an even more chilling and frustrating realization: that the media in the US are so inept that they can’t follow the trail revealed and make more people aware of it. I think probably, like me, many just think it’s too unbelievable and that it couldn’t be true, despite the real people involved and the facts given. And yet the names, dates, events are clearly identified and it would take only a little diligence for a competent reporter and researcher to look under a few rocks and come up with a really meaningful story or series of stories about the loss of democracy in FL and in the country.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2014
Investigative Journalism done to perfection and kept 100% true – AND with all the power of any of Alfred Hitchcock’s best works of fiction. I kept saying to myself, why hasn’t this EXPLODED all over the media, since its 2008 release? Sheer brilliance, (and it DID win the New Jersey Film Festival Best Documentary award); this is truly, absurdly, great stuff. Makes one want to take Florida Republican Representative to Congress Tom Feeney right up from his Congressional seat and throw him directly into a Florida (and subsequently Federal) JAIL cell – for the rest of his life! George Bush is just covered with silly smiles – like a Hitlerian demon; but he is revealed as the WORST destroyer of democracy in the living, breathing, world!
