In a previous post, I mentioned the documentary about the subversion of the Presidential election process. [1] Here is a good blog about what is/what is not being done to improve this situation for the upcoming November elections. [2] Here is a New York Times editorial about how long voters in Ohio had to wait (10 hours or more) to vote in the 2004 Presidential election; here is the opening paragraph:
Everyone complains that young people don’t vote, but consider the experience of students at Kenyon College in Ohio in the 2004 election. Officials in Knox County, Ohio, provided just two voting machines for the school’s 1,300 voters. Some students waited in line for 10 hours, and the last bleary-eyed voter did not cast a ballot until nearly 4 a.m.
Also, here’s a clip from ‘Uncounted’:
