  • Is Deanna Russo related to Aaron Russo? I have a lot of time for Aaron Russo, and I also love Greg Palast. I think if Greg Palast had the confidence and gaul of Russo then he would be the best journalist ever.

    Ironically however, if he did have the gaul and confidence of Russo he wouldn't be in the position he is.

    The history of Mexican corruption in government elections is extensive. It seems its spilling across the border to the U.S....or is it Visa Versa?

  • Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador is a demagogue...

    My mother voted for Felipe Calderon, and I second her opinion....

  • Yes, there are some extremists, and the nation fears them. The other people fear them.

  • One of the largest newspaper companies in Mexico, Grupo Reforma, conducted a poll in June 2007 that showed 36 % of mexicans still believed the election was fraudulent or that there were serious irregularities. Palast is on to something here, just like he was on to something in Florida - and he's not alone.

  • I may be one of the producers of this project but my vote still counts, unlike those millions that cast their ballots in this election, ballots which are now "missing". Journalism in the US did not sufficiently report on this election. Americans can learn a lesson in activism from Mexicans.

  • It has a nice raw quality that speaks to the underlying truth in trouble with politics these days...

  • very nice graphics and stuff, but this is a pseudo-news piece, not a slamdance short film....why is it on this page?

  • this piece is relevant.
    people who don't think a piece this should be at Slamdance are dark inside.
    this piece is spreading light in a dark world. Brilliance. Welcome the light. U can't stop it.

  • damn.
    this election was robbed.
    I saw this on LA36 before.
    But with the current election looming,
    it is all the more relevant now!!!

  • well cut for a doc that looks like a one camera shoot, and it's a piece that's bookended by solid graphics. These folks know how to make a lot out of a little - budget-wise.

  • Thanks for encouraging questions and free thought. Even when it isn't pretty and some may not want to see or listen you guys are always seeking truth.

  • Thank you for promoting “thinking for yourself” for at least the ten years I’ve known you. Legitimate heroes speaking firmly in society where patience, time and spines are sparse. f the mainstream mind f

  • No Vote Left Behind is a great documentary about the corruption in Mexican politics. Reminds me of the voting scandal in Florida. Thank you for shedding light on this subject because I did not know this kind of voting corruption was also happening in Mexico. Unfortunately, it seems like cheaters end up winning. We as a people have to stand up for what's right.

  • It is interesting to watch this years later. Florida. Ohio. Mexico City. Calderon is in office. Bush is in office. now what? Nice work, underground.

  • I thought that it was a great piece. It seems that once again tirany is rearing its ugly face under the guise of 'democracy'. Cheers to The Underground for shedding more light oin this topic. The more that these inequities are pointed out the better chance we have of defeating such injustices. Great Job!

  • I am so glad to hear that someone is voicing what the heck is going on in the world today!!! The boring and over repeated crap on news tv is dismal if at best! Go Marty of putting yourself in the shoes of the Mexican People...where the heck are their votes...Let me tell you when I ink blot my vote ...you better count it! Rock On Marty Markovits and keep the voice alive! Jessica

  • Seven minutes in heaven with Marty.

  • this presenter looks like a real presenter, not like the occasionally awkward, institutionalized, slick-suited know-nothings that feed you the same generic crap all day and night.

    i give marks here for a focus on airing real public views, majority concerns, while allowing credible experts good airtime and capturing the energy and scale of the moment.

    markovits is going places if he can lead his own items like that

  • I am a personal witness of the partial recount on the mexican elections. At 4 differnet recount sites the votes had to be taken away from Calderón and given to López Obrador. For this and many other facts I am death positive that our president is Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Death sure...
