sfdphd This film came out 12 years ago yet the problem still exists and the situation is probably worse than ever! I will be telling people to look for it. I found it at my library.
lordkhuzdul Aah, finally, a serious documentary (not the sensational conspiracy theory type American audiences seem to prefer) about the dangerous cracks in American democracy! Maybe, finally, it can get a few points across amongst the American audiences. I sincerely wish some similar people could do a documentary about what is really happening in Iraq. Then you would understand why the rest of the world is at best annoyed with, and at worst full of hatred against the United States.Wake up and smell the coffee, my American friends! Good morning to you from Middle East! You should clean up your own house before trying to bring 'freedom' and 'democracy' over here. You have a dirty kitchen, and thus, your brand of 'freedom and democracy' is not very healthy for us.So get up and start cleaning... and maybe we could have some peace and quiet over here while you're busy with that.
patrick_j_durkin_iii Please watch this and think about how your "vote" might go... This documentary is an eye opener to the corruption of what is supposed to be a "pure" given right of our vote and voice to be heard. But when your voice (vote) can be manipulated, then democracy is not there. This movie shows how there are three companies who provide these machines and all the so called security and accuracy they have. But the truth is shown that these machines can easily be tampered with. I just heard that there are devices you can get so that when you go up to the computer and vote you can manipulate the system as you vote. We have chosen this high tech system which leaves no paper trail to the truth.
tom-1674 This timely HBO production should be required viewing for all voters. It shows irrefutable proof of vote tampering in past elections, as well as serious flaws in the machines being used to count votes in upcoming elections - including Nov. 7th, 2006.Since the subject matter is so huge, trying to cover it all in the time allotted would be impossible. However, the producers decided to concentrate on the activities of just one group of many exposing election fraud - Bev Harris from BlackBoxVotingThe U.S. needs more people like Bev. Many more. Now. Without the vote, you have nothing but a dictatorship.
