Best bit - watching the hackers move in and out via hacked IoT security cameras. How very James Bond. The Dutch have a lot more credibility with me than the 'five eyes' intelligence agencies. This is the first time I've seen claims so specific from people who aren't already tainted by mass dishonesty or political incentives. My inclination is to believe them. I personally find this testimony more convincing than reports from American firms or agencies. That said, the hack of the DNC in question wasn't "hacking democracy" by any reasonable definition of the term, in my eyes. The leaked documents and emails were controversial because of what they showed about Clinton and the DNC itself. Voters only had more information after that. Claims that this undermined voters has to rely on the idea that if the Republicans had leaked emails they'd have been impacted in the same way but Trump basically leaks anything that pops into his head anyway, so it's hard to imagine. If the documents had been leaked by a DNC insider to Wikileaks instead, the outcome would have been the same and nobody would be freaking out. Arguably both political parties should be required to release their internal communications to the public anyway. It's not clear what's to be gained by having that information be secret.
