Uncounted: New Math of American Elections
An explosive documentary from 2007 that shows how the election fraud that changed the outcome of the 2004 election led to even greater fraud in 2006 - and now looms as an unbridled threat to the outcome of the 2008 election. This controversial feature length film by Emmy award-winning director David Earnhardt examines in factual, logical, and yet startling terms how easy it is to change election outcomes and undermine election integrity across the U.S. Noted computer programmers, statisticians, journalists, and experienced election officials provide the irrefutable proof.

UNCOUNTED is a wakeup call to all Americans. Beyond increasing the public?s awareness, the film inspires greater citizen involvement in fixing a broken electoral system. As we approach the decisive election of 2008, UNCOUNTED will change how you feel about the way votes are counted in America.

Hear, hear...
Even if you're one of the final remaining stalwarts of the corporations/neocons, you should still watch this film and support unencumbered elections that empower and hear the voice of the American people.
The last two presidential elections have not been won by vote of the people. And that's terrifying. Think about that.
Ours is a representational republic and not a pure democracy to be sure. But these politicians are our public servants. They work for us. We pay their salary with our hard-earned tax dollars. And we need our votes to be heard - every time.
I know from first hand experience. After years of voting in the same place, my poll location was "coincidentally" moved in 2004. And then everyone at this new location waited in line for over 2 - 3 hours to vote. In previous years? Voting took 15 minutes.
And yes, this is a lower, racially diverse neighborhood without lots of white folks. Yep.

Re: Uncounted: New Math of American Elections
Yes! I want a receipt when I vote. A second hard copy of my vote. I'm a young voter and this system just seems unreliable at the very least.
With receipts: If people feel cheated, they can march with the streets holding their proof that their vote still counts.

Does any of this really surprise anyone? Politics is nothing but a game with few rules,and we are all the pawns. It only takes one point to win a game, and they do whatever underhanded thing it takes to get that point.

Re: Uncounted: New Math of American Elections
I hear ya, and it doesn't surprise me.
But that said - we're putting a spotlight on the criminals and by voting with our dollars, buying local, supporting non-corporate interests, calling our Reps and Senators, etc... we can and are already making a difference.
Don't get bummed or give up. We are already making strides forward.
Plus when all's said and done, I'd rather be defeated on my feet than bend over on my knees saying, "well, I'm just a nobody who can't do nuthin'..."

Re: Uncounted: New Math of American Elections
Well, I guess that means I need to become a Politician, play dirtier than the other guys to get myself elected, then figure out how fix the system so I can never get elected again because I play dirty, all the while making sure only the "Good Guys" run for office in the in the future. Sounds easy enough.

Re: Uncounted: New Math of American Elections
Your two responses are quite common with folks who feel disempowered.
But we have so many more options than to (a) give up and say we can't do nuthin' anyway or (b) say the only way to win is to "play dirtier" than the other guy.
Neither of those options sound like America. Not the one I know.
Because I don't know about you, but we fight clean. No matter what. Even if we lose. And we still walk with our heads held high. Because we did the right thing. And we sleep well at night.
We're Americans g*ddammit. We're better than this. Start f*cking acting like it.
We can buy local produce and goods, reduce our support of corporations, make our own documentary, put a spotlight on the criminals, reduce oil consumption, start a neighborhood club, call our Reps and Senators.
Sorry if you feel I'm coming off like a douche. But anytime anyone feels put upon, get your fat asses off the couch and off the internet and do something.
Heck, now I'm all fired up. I'm going out to do crimes.
I'm going to eat sushi...and not pay.

Re: Uncounted: New Math of American Elections
Athan Gibbs had a good voting system, but what the hell was he doing with a patent on it? It's a simple, obvious protocol that occurs to anyone who spends about 90 seconds thinking about electronic voting security. The fact that it's patented is part of the problem here. Now anyone who wants to make a voting machine that produces a paper audit slip has to license the concept of a printout from TruVote. Damn patent trolls!

Great documentary though. It's nice to see all this stuff gathered into one feature film.
Steven Heller is a hero. He paid a big personal price to expose Diebold. But he could've fought back through extralegal means. The L.A. District Attorney is an elected office. It doesn't play too great with voters to see their head prosecutor going after a guy for exposing criminal activity associated with vote tampering. At that point, the press would've written it up his way and the D.A. would've folded. Even without hard evidence of the D.A. taking orders for Diebold, just the stink is enough.
