Electronic Voting in Florida

Description

We've all heard about how hard it can be to vote in America. <ol> If, God forbid, you want someone other than Kerry or Bush, their respective parties may have done a lot of legwork to keep your preferred candidate entirely off the ballot If you're in a state that dumps all of its electoral votes to whichever candidate gets the most votes, you're out of luck for having your voice heard If you're in Florida and you're black, there's a good chance you'll be turned away from the polls If you're in Florida and want to vote for John Kerry, and someone notices, your vote might not count. If you send in an absentee ballot, and you voted for John Kerry, it might not count. </ol> Here's a little movie called <a href="{att_link}Voting_Machine.wmv">Voting Machine</a> (WMV format/1.9MB) showing a "this-could-happen-to-you" scenario with computerized voting. <bq>Boom Chicago of Amsterdam made the following video in anticipation of technological advances in US elections. It can be seen in our theater as part of our show 'Mr. America Contest' or in voting booths across Florida on Nov. 2, 2004</bq>
