Just in Time For the 2008 Presidential Race: A Searing Indictment of the Election Process As It Affected Both the 2004 and 2006 Elections ... And Could Affect the Outcome of the 2008 Election
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Defenders of democracy unite: Starz Edge and Starz Cinema present the world television premiere of Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections, an explosive documentary that shows how election fraud changed the outcome of the 2004 election and led to even greater fraud in 2006. With the 2008 presidential race just around the corner, is it too late for a free and fair election? The film will premiere on Starz Edge on Monday, August 25 at 10:30 p.m. (et/pt). Starz Cinema will show Uncounted on Thursday, August 28 at 10:00 p.m.
Uncounted, the controversial film by David Earnhardt, examines in factual, logical and startling terms how easy it is to change election outcomes and undermine election integrity across the United States. The film shines some much-needed light onto:
-- Jim Crow-like Voter Suppression and Intimidation in the 21st Century
-- Exit Poll Discrepancies in 2004 and 2006
-- Undervoting up to 80% in Precincts
-- Electronic Voting Machines Altering Final Vote Tallies
-- Provisional Ballots Not Counted
-- The Privatization of the Election Process
"Our country has a long and varied history of stolen elections, systematic disenfranchisement, and manufactured election irregularities," said Uncounted filmmaker David Earnhardt, "Yet most of us still accept on faith the integrity of the election process. I hope that watching Uncounted so close to the presidential election will shake to the core any preconceived beliefs -- and encourage immediate action before it's too late."
In addition to being a searing indictment of the country's election system and a stunning wakeup call for voters, Uncounted also tells the inspiring stories of three patriotic whistleblowers who recognize the threat to the core of our democracy and do the right thing -- regardless of the consequences.
"The notion of stolen elections is something we assign to Third World countries, but not this beacon of freedom and democracy that we like to view ourselves as." Bernie Ellis, Election Integrity Activist.
