Event Details
Hacking Democracy is a documentary film by Simon Ardizzone and Russell Michaels, made for HBO in 2006. It documents anomalies and irregularities with electronic voting systems that occurred during the 2004 election, especially in Volusia County, Florida, and investigates the integrity of electronic voting machines.

The documentary follows Bev Harris and Andy Stephenson, activists for Black Box Voting, as they attempt to discover whether Diebold voting machines could be tampered with and if their use in the previous election had produced any irregularities. During the course of the documentary, multiple methods of tampering with the votes are shown.

This free screening, co-organised by FIPR and the Open Rights Group, will be followed by a panel discussion with both co-directors and an MP from each of the three main political parties.

Open Rights Group

The Open Rights Group is a grassroots technology organisation which exists to protect civil liberties wherever they are threatened by the poor implementation and regulation of digital technology. We call these rights our “digital rights”.

In 2005, a community of 1,000 digital rights enthusiasts came together to create the Open Rights Group. Since then, ORG has spoken out on copyright term extension, DRM and the introduction of electronic voting in the UK. We have informed the debate on data protection, freedom of information, data retention and the surveillance state.

These are issues that affect all of us. Together, our community, which includes some of the UK’s most renowned technology experts, works hard to raise awareness about them. If these are issues that you care about, become part of our community and support the Open Rights Group today.
