Hacking Democracy is a 2006 documentary film by Simon Ardizzone and Russell Michaels, produced by Simon Ardizzone, Robert Carrillo Cohen and Russell Michaels, shown on HBO. It documents anomalies and irregularities with 'evoting' systems that occurred during the 2004 election, especially in Volusia County, Florida, and investigates the integrity of electronic voting machines. Even though no one from Diebold Election System had seen the film, President David Byrd suggested that "Hacking Democracy" was "replete with material examples of inaccurate reporting", and demanded that it not be aired. His criticism was based on an earlier film made by the same directors. One of Diebold's objections to the film was that it failed to mention that Avi Rubin, a John Hopkins computer science professor who is a vocal Diebold critic in the film, owned stock options in VoteHere which sells auditing software and systems for voting machines. Avi Rubin went on to return his stock options and withdraw from the VoteHere advisory board, from which he says he has not had any meaningful contact since joining over 2 years ago, except the occasional receipt of a press clipping.
