2. This movie used to be on the Internet Movie Archive (archive.org)
Unfortunately it looks like it has been removed because of a "rights issue." I would suspect this has to do with that Howard Dean clip from CNBC.

3. Nice movie, but...
the ending is a little perplexing. The machines can be easily rigged and have no accountability, but go out and vote!?

5. Good question. All I can think is that Cynthia
McKinney as others have wanted to get the exit poll records and compare them to the actual count.


If people hadn't voted then there would be no case to make.

6. I think they were saying that voter fraud would be easier to detect
When there is a large turnout as it would become more evident . Which , if this election is anything to go by , certainly appears to be true , as the fraud is soooo obvious .

8. true...
but I think the 2000 election teaches us not to depend on positive post election reform. Sure we have to deal with it now, but thats a very risky preelection strategy!

4. just watched it
it's great

It explains and shows the real problems with computer voting.

This should be required viewing for everyone!

7. Could the Dem Party call Registered voters in Dixie County and ask how the
y voted?

It would be an interesting poll to see if the phone poll showed MORE registered DEM's voted than recorded.

Could a petition be started in one of those small counties which verifees that more DEM's voted for Kerry than Bush, and illustrates significant errors..
