"A Vote of No Confidence" -- Nashville Scene cover story on election fraud
Here is a link to an excellent cover story published today in the Nashville Scene. The article focuses on the film UNCOUNTED and on the work of our local election reform group, Gathering to Save Our Democracy. It appears one day after the TN House Elections subcommittee voted unanimously to support the TN Voter Confidence Act, which will mandate paper ballots and random audits.

The article even includes an apology (of sorts) for the same newspaper calling us "Rip Van Winkles" back in 2005 for promoting verifiable elections.

Ah yes, changing the minds of the corporate media -- priceless.

1. If "Uncounted" had a Gimmick (Michael Moore?), It would make a big bang nationally
It's that well done I think.

Could it have the same appeal as "Sicko"?

Why not? The issue is just as big, in my opinion, bigger!

2. One kick for an amazingly supportive article on our vvpb struggle in TN
