American Blackout critically examines the contemporary tactics used to control our democratic process and silence voices of political dissent.

Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under- reported and are commonly written-off as insignificant rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an overburdened election system.

American Blackout chronicles the recurring patterns of voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004 while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Mckinney not only took an active role investigating these election debacles, but has found herself in the middle of her own after publicly questioning the Bush Administration about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Featuring: Congressional members John Conyers, John Lewis, Stephanie Tubbs-Jones, Bernie Sanders and jounalists Greg Palast and Bob Fitrakis.

  • This video won't playy!!! Damn you youtube. Damn you google

  • So what scheme is next ? Maybe they will completely try to redraw precinct borders to incorporate larger numbers of Republican voters.

  • @jfcemporium fuck off

  • Yeah i was thinking the same thing.

  • America, you can try to think of ways you can fix this flawed system like having the ballot boxes and ballot counting observed by members of all parties and neutral observers. You can petition to stop gerimandering. Or one to ban computer voting machines and replace them with simple easy to read ballots. But I'm afraid that won't do any good because your government is geared to undermine your interests. The real solution is to send all your "elected officials" out on their asses and start fresh.

  • Oh, so YouTube would not post my comment up here about Tom Delay and Karl Rove!! Is that really surprising? Maybe I will try back again later!
