Stealing America: Vote by Vote

Description

Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman's revealing new documentary brings together seemingly unrelated anomalies of the U.S. electoral puzzle to paint a chilling picture of widespread "glitches" that have the capacity to alter election results. Behind-the-scenes perspectives from the U.S. presidential election of 2004—plus startling stories from key races in 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2006—shed light on a decade of vote counts that don't match votes cast: uncounted ballots, vote switching, under-votes, and many other examples of election totals that warrant serious investigation. The last two presidential elections both came down to a relatively small number of votes, and in both elections the integrity of the voting process has been called into question. With the upcoming election looking to be similarly close, the time has come to ask the questions: What happened in 2000 and 2004? What has changed since? What can be done to ensure a fair and honest tabulation of votes in 2008? Narrated by Peter Coyote.
