About the film:
UNCOUNTED is an explosive documentary that shows how the election fraud
that changed the outcome of the 2004 election led to even greater fraud in
2006 - and now looms as an unbridled threat to the outcome of the 2008
election. This controversial film by Emmy award-winning director David
Earnhardt examines in factual, logical, and yet startling terms how easy
it is to change election outcomes and undermine election integrity across
the U.S.
you feel about the way votes are counted in America.
Federal Vote-Counting Accuracy Mandate Is Ignored
Violations abound, but no federal action is taken
by Ellen Theisen. April 17,

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), Section 301(a)(5), requires that the vote-counting error rate of each voting system used in federal elections must comply with the 2002 Voluntary Voting Systems Standards. UPDATE, May 5, 2008. It has come to our attention that the 1/500,000 error rate previously quoted here applies to the testing process. For operation in an election, the allowable error rate is 1 error in 10,000,000 ballot lines (0.00001%).
Here are some examples of voting system error rates logged in elections since HAVA was enacted, yet no federal agency has taken action to stop the use of these systems. In fact, all these systems are still in use in the United States.

Many other news stories tell of equally shocking error rates. Though we have not calculated the error rate per ballot line (choice on the ballot), it's clear that these miscounts are far beyond the legal limit of one error in 10,000,000 ballot choices.
