Leon County Elections Supervisor Ion Sancho has a starring role in a new HBO documentary that raises serious questions about the security of vote-counting machines used in Florida and many other big states.
The program, titled "Hacking Democracy," is scheduled to debut on the cable channel on Nov. 2, running through most of the month. It details the efforts of an organization called Black Box Voting to document election irregularities in several states, focusing mainly on Ohio and Florida.
The program is highly critical of Diebold, the giant company that provides electronic-scanning vote tabulators for Leon County and in Ohio. Sancho angered the company last year by giving Black Box Voting access to a voting machine in his office for a controlled test, to see if the memory card of a voting machine could be rigged to change election results.
