Is American democracy safe in the age of computers? This cautionary film looks at the very real risk of hackers altering vote counts in public elections--and exposes the vulnerability of the computers that count approximately 80% of America's votes in county, state and federal elections. Filmed in 2004-2005, this documentary tells the story of Bev Harris, a Seattle publicist/writer whose watchdog group uncovered evidence of mishandled voting records and suspicious voting machine malfunctions. Harris's crusade took the group--consisting of computer experts, activists and political candidates from both parties--from her home computer (where she found a computer system blueprint accidentally made public) to Tallahassee, FL, for a "mini-election" that proved just how easy it is to hack the vote.

Here is the schedule for the film “Hacking Democracy” on HBO.
