Here's one for the election year: Behind the Freedom Curtain! This, unfortunately, is not a film about communism; it's a plug for the products of the Automatic Voting Machine Company (give them credit for an eye-catching title). While the pitfalls of primitive paper balloting are shown in gleeful detail, voting machines are praised as "automatic and modern."
Until we got to programmable voting machines. If you make a mistake, grab another ballot. You may only turn one in anyway. It should just be a peice of card material, stored and counted in public.
Trust but verify is impossible with voting machines.
