‘Uncounted’ uncovers “new math” of American
elections, voting machines
By A Guest Commentator | November 11, 2007
The Belcourt Theatre will host the premiere screening of UNCOUNTED:The New Math of American Elections, this coming Monday night, November 12. The event includes a reception prior to the screening and a panel discussion on the film and its vitals issues after this premiere. If you are planning to attend this screening — and we hope you are — you may want to purchase your tickets online before the event!
UNCOUNTED exposes how Americans were cheated during the 2004 and 2006 elections – and how “enraged” voters have turned their anger into citizen activism – to safeguard the vote. Eyewitness accounts from whistleblowers are backed up by election experts in revealing how Jim Crow tactics, electronic voting machine security breaches, vote count manipulation, and illegal behavior by a major voting machine manufacturer all threaten the very core of our democracy – the vote. Democrats, Republicans, business leaders, elected officials, and rank and file voters are all part of a growing movement in America to correct an election system gone bad.
This new documentary by Nashville filmmaker David Earnhardt (left) focuses on the vulnerability of electronic voting machines, now being used in all but two Tennessee counties, as well as the numbers of people who were disenfranchised during recent elections.
David began the filming for Uncounted in 2005 at the National Election Reform Conference, an event which brought activists from more than thirty states to Nashville. Over the next two years David traveled the country gathering stories of everyday Americans who witnessed elections being manipulated and stolen.
