"VOTERGATE" film premiers today online

If you have fond memories of recounts from the 2000 election--I know I do!--then you need to see this film. The 2004 election is going to be _worse_ because of the explosion of electronic voting machines that do not produce a Voter Verifiable Paper Ballot. Without a non-electronic storage mechanism for recording official vote tallies, there will be NO WAY TO HAVE A MEANINGFUL VOTE RECOUNT.

Votergate is the investigative documentary feature film uncovering the truth about new computer voting systems, which allow a few powerful corporations to record our votes in secret. But Votergate is not just a warning. The film strongly concludes that elections are harder to defraud when voters turn out in big numbers.

Votergate will continue filming through the Nov. 2nd election and release a 90 minute feature film / DVD. This 30 minute Special Edition is designed specifically to help viewers navigate past the fear and spin being thrown at this critical issue.

...

Every American who cares about democracy must see this film before the
election! These filmmakers decided to create a 30 minute "Special Edition"
of their feature film as a free public service to get this information out to
the public - in time for the Presidential election and it premiers OCTOBER 26,
2004 online at (www.votergate.TV).

Critics of these e-voting systems protest that the machines are not
transparent to the voters and provide no paper ballot/receipt or any way to do a
meaningful recount. But Votergate is not just a warning, the film strongly
concludes that elections are harder to defraud when voters turn out in big numbers.
Just as public interest and news about these election issues are exploding, the
Votergate Special Edition is the
must-see film that educates citizens about how to keenly observe, question
and protect the process on Election Day!
