REVIEW

Directed by Penny Little, with supporting appearances by everyone from Danny "Media Dissector" Schechter to the Reverend Jesse Jackson, this 1 hour plus grassroots guerilla film provides a hilarious and provocative look at the perils of electronic voting machines, and the ways in which the Orwellian "Help America Vote Act" HAVA), passed by Congress with the blessing of the defense industry (ah - a clue) in 2002, actually set the stage for the corporate hijacking of the electoral process now underway in many key counties in many key states around the Union.

While the film manages to incorporate a number of key pieces of evidence in building its case, it is most useful as a frank and funny (if that is the right word) introduction to our situation, with a focus on the perils of electronic ÒvotingÓ (and we can use that term loosely).
