Since 2000 the United States has been up-in-arms about its voting. 2000 was the year of Bush/Gore and the infamous Florida chad - who is not some guy you hung out with on Spring Break. WOO SPRING BREAK!!
Director David Earnhardt challenges the electronic voting system and makes some incredible valid points. For one why a company (Diebold) would make a voting machine that gives out no receipts and isn't auditable when they are a company that produces most of the world's ATM machines thats only job is to print out reciepts and be auditable.
While the evidence provided to us tends to lean towards showing us the Republican party gained more from the alleged voter fraud the documetary does claim to be non-partisan. Even as a liberal I found this documentary to be too one sided and only focusing on what the Republicans are rumored to be doing rather than spending too much time talking about ACORN and other hot topics of the day.
It is difficult to judge this film on what is shown. I do find it making a convincing argument especially when a programmer testifies that he is the one who developed the software to switch votes (on purpose) and that he was paid by a man who works in the Florida State Government and has ties to the Bushes.
Following some of the information provided in the film led me to Blackboxvoting.org which is run by one of the talking heads in the documentary Bev Harris. Director David Earnhardt is a frequent contributor on that site. Bev Harris and Mr Earnhardt also frequent the Alex Jones show. Mr Jones is the leading proponent of the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories and blames Bush and a secret shadow government (New World Order - not led by Hogan).
Many of thoes claims seem far fetched to me so I wonder what their agenda is in this documentary.
Again on the surface it does a good job on convincing you of all this wrong doing which I think is great. Get awareness out there so we can see it coming but I wonder how much of it is actual fact and how much of it is like the jump-to-conclusions mat.
Basically what I took away from this is that the TruVote system is the best available (if we go electronic, it allows you to check on your vote online and prints out a hard ballot to be hand counted if needed) and if not we need to stick with paper ballots.
I know in 2 and 4 years I will be volunteering at the local polling presinct just to be sure there is nothing shady going on. This documentary is propaganda and much of it may be true but I would urge you to do your own research and get involved in the political process.
