Interesting concept, but really poorly made...


I like the concept behind the documentary, I think we are allowing Diebold to go unchecked, etc... but: This film was REALLY poorly made. Among many problems, that theme-song made me want to rip my hair out.

"A broken promise/In the promised land."

Anyway, does anyone agree? Or am I simply expecting too much from a made-for-TV documentary?

The song was bloody awful, I cringed whenever I heard it. I did find the movie very informative though. I had no idea there was so much fraud happening and so easily done. I am glad that here in Canada we still use the old fashioned paper/pen ballots.

The problem is the movie does not even prove fraud. It claims that if you had access to the memory card, and changed the program on it, then you could defraud the machine. It's a very dishonest film to say the least.

You should have paid attention. It proved fraud many times. As a result of this film several people were convicted and election results were overturned.

The whole film was extremely cheesy. Bev Harris's arguments were so flimsy in many cases, by the end I found myself discounting every word she said.

And yeah, that song was bloody awful.
