Quotes 

• Alan Stewart : Perception of legitimacy is more important than legitimacy itself. That's - the greater truth. Don't fuck with our democracy. Don't undermine our way of life. You want to know what the heart and soul is of every American? They believe that their vote counts. Now, you wanna tell them that's not true?

• Alan Stewart : Look into your soul and ask yourself this question: why would you test the computer at such limits with so few days left to fix a problem if you found a problem?

  Eleanor Green : I - was just double-checking.

  Alan Stewart : Do you want to destroy this company? Because that's what you very well may do. You understand the ramifications. Do you want to put over 1,000 employees out of work? Do ya?

  Eleanor Green : But the election will be a fraud.

  Alan Stewart : Here. Here it is in the light of day: the people are voting, there is an election, the democratic process is working. The only sour note? They won't end up with the person that they voted for to be the President of the United States. But we can celebrate the process. The democratic process which we hold so dear - will have worked. Efficiently. Effectively. Everybody's gonna be satisfied. Unless somebody discloses indiscriminately, willy-nilly, in which case It will appear democracy is in the shithouse.
