NEW YORK, NY -- The 2004 Presidential election gave America its first comprehensive look at electronic voting machines. Unfortunately, it seems that a paper ballot wasn’t the only thing missing. Like many Americans, Emmy® Award-winning director David Earnhardt was perplexed on election night ‘04, as the outcome clearly didn’t match up with exit polls. This prompted the Nashville-based filmmaker to embark on a three-year journey to answer one fundamental question: was our most recent presidential election stolen and, if so, how? On August 26, join The Disinformation Company for a wakeup call to all Americans with the compelling documentary UNCOUNTED. Examining the election fraud in ‘04 and ’06 – and something that now looms as an unbridled threat to the outcome of this year’s presidential election -- this controversial feature-length film, an election season must-see, will be available on DVD August 26 for $19.95SRP.

Called an “eye-opener” and “very powerful” , UNCOUNTED explores in factual, logical and yet startling terms, how easy it is to change election outcomes and undermine election integrity across the U.S., whether on a local, state or national level. Eyewitness accounts from whistleblowers are backed up by election experts in revealing how Jim Crow tactics, electronic voting machine security breaches, vote count manipulation, and illegal behavior by a major voting machine manufacturer all threaten the very core of our democracy. Interviews include Jonathan Simon, co-founder of Election Defense Alliance, Bernie Ellis, organizer for National Election Reform Conference and Bev Harris, the founder of Black Box Voting; authors Robert Fitrakis (“What Happened in Ohio?”) and Andrew Gumbel (“Steal This Vote”); current and former U.S. Representatives Cynthia McKinney, Jim Cooper and John Conyers, the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, David Cobb, the Green Party presidential candidate in 2004 and many more.
UNCOUNTED also captures some of the most chilling stories of disregard for the right to vote in America. In Florida, Republican computer programmer Clint Curtis tells of how he was directed by his boss to create software that will “flip” votes from one candidate to another. In California, Steve Heller was convicted of a felony after leaking secret documents detailing illegal activities committed by Diebold, one of the largest makers of electronic voting machines. Meanwhile, Athan Gibbs wanted passionately for votes to be verifiable, and invented a cost-effective way to do so. Unfortunately, he was unable to sell his concept to election officials who instead purchased inferior electronic voting machines. These are among the many stories certain to leave viewers outraged at the manner in which the American election system is influenced. As director Earnhardt says, “Election manipulation rarely even makes a top ten issues list. But think about it – if your vote doesn’t count, then nothing else really matters.”
Democrats, Republicans, business leaders, elected leaders, and rank-and-file voters are all part of a growing movement in America to correct an election system gone bad. But as we speed towards the 2008 presidential election, one nagging question looms large: will your vote count?
