Democracy Now!: Hacking Democracy (10/31/06) by Amy GoodmanGoodman speaks of "widespread reports of malfunctions and security lapses" in the electronic voting machines recording "80 percent of the votes cast in America today," with Maryland's governor "call[ing] for the state to scrap its electronic voting system and revert to paper ballots," along with a major report about "17 states nationwide whose voting system is at 'high risk' for a compromised election." Yet investigative reporter Bev Harris explains that
one of the things we found in 2004 is that terrible things happen in elections, and if you come back and tell a story about it, it’s very difficult to enact change, it’s very difficult to get the media to cover it.
Harris' solution: make her own documentary "to get evidence in the form that it can't be spun or explained away."
