Uncounted - Election Day 2004 (Ohio)

http://www.UncountedTheMovie.com

Long lines, too few voting machines, voter intimidation, voting machine failures, voters purged from rolls - these are just some of a long list of problems encountered in Ohio on Election Day 2004. It's not just electronic voting machines that threaten our democracy, as Election Day 2004 illustrates, there are systemic problems inherent in the process that make it possible for massive disenfranchisement. As the saying goes, knowledge is power, so know what could happen and get ready to fight back in November 2008.

Clip from UNCOUNTED: The New Math of American Elections, a documentary by Emmy award-winning director David Earnhardt. UNCOUNTED 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 2008 election.

Turnout in 2004 in Ohio was 65% and there were huge numbers of people still waiting in line to vote when the polls closed.

Officials are estimating the turnout will be 80% this year. I hope they've made a few changes to make sure those problems don't happen again, especially with such a big turnout expected.

@cdnerds Some folks take democracy so seriously. I for one think folks like you should be tarred and feathered. Now that would be SOOOOOO FUN TO WATCH. Live free or die nerd!

I was an Official Election Re-Count Observer in Ohio 2004. Specifically Eire and Seneca counties. I am tired of screaming about this. I am not done but I am tired. You can google my live Indy Media account- michael cavlan- stolen election lost democracy and read it and weep for the death of democratic integrity.

Bring a pair of wire cutters to all elections, cut all wires on the electronic voting machine you have in your booth. Preventing crime is your prerogative

[cdnerds]

Yes every voter that was turned away, didnt vote or had to stand in long lines was a dem? Give me break... YOU LOST.. You didn't hear us bitching when Nobama won... Gotta drag those poor baby libs away kicking and screaming.. but its SOOOOOO FUN TO WATCH.

[cwize]

long lines, broken machines... kept both Republicans and Democrats from voting. Most of this sounds like incompetence more than "rigging". And anyone falling for the stupid homemade flyer that says "republicans vote on the 2nd, democrats vote on the 3rd" well, you don't need to be voting in the first place.

Please consider that Kerry did not fight for the rights of those who knew that their votes were not counted.

Remember the work of Greg Palast and Athan Gibbs. and all those who continue to fight for the right to vote.
