"Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections explores the many different ways in which elections in the United States can and supposedly have been manipulated and sometimes flat out directly altered or falsified. There are several different methods explored here. 1. Polling locations in areas that are known to vote in a certain way (such as lower class or African American communities more often swaying towards Democrats over Republicans) are given fewer machines and resources, or sometimes even have physical obstacles that keep people from being able to get in to vote or forcing them to wait so long that many give up and go home. 2. Laws and procedures are miscommunicated to poll workers leading them to turn away people who have a right to vote based on erroneous criteria. Or causing them to vote "provisionally" which are votes that area apparently often never counted. Again this is usually only done in areas known to vote in a certain way. 3. New electronic voting machines ... "

"I review films professionally for a small paper that is situated in a primarily liberal oasis adrift in a very conservative county, In my reviews, I keep my politics close to the vest (but, honestly, anyone who reads between the lines can easily see my stripes). In private, though, I consume documentaries such as “Uncounted.” “Outfoxed,” “Iraq for Sale,” “Uncovered” and “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices” have captivated me, as I look forward to each new film released by Robert Greenwald's Brave New Films company.

"Suppose that you're a normal, everyday moviewatcher. You've seen a few documentaries and now I come to you and ask you to make a documentary your own self. "Who, me?" you say, "What do I know about making a documentary?" "Just give it a try," I say, and I say, "David Earnhardt did it. This is his first stab at making one. So, your movie will be about voter fraud, like his was. Here's a camera. Get out there and record some interviews with the sort of folks that you see shopping every day down at the Save N' Go Supermarket. That is, turn up some interesting folks - folks maybe just a tad peculiar in their views and in their aspect. Then Wiki some voter statistics and find some footage of voters standing in line and, I predict, you will make a movie very like Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections.Nothing wrong with that. The movie's karma is positive. It's impossible to take a step these days without tripping over an article on voter problems, so you probably won't learn anyt ... "

""No one has yet explained to my satisfaction the difference between a conspiracy and a long range business plan." -Teresa Hommel Uncounted, a documentary by David Earnhardt about the deeply flawed and easily maleable American electoral process, is a difficult film to review. Especially on the eve of such a noteworthy -- and ultimately disheartening and fatiguing -- presidential election, any analysis of the film is likely to degrade into not merely a discussion of its thesis but an impassioned diatribe on the sorry state of our system politic. But given that this is essentially the point of the film, I will press on. Focusing primarily on the 2004 and, to a lesser extent, the 2000 presidential elections, Uncounted paints a harrowing portrait of a deeply corrupt system fueled by partisan interests, unaccountability, clandestine operations, and pernicious manipulation. That the mainstream media largely ignores this issue and the American public is for the most part complacen ... "

"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. ... "
