Voting Machine Failures
After 2000, the media focused a great deal of attention on punch-card voting (remember "hanging chads"?) This led to the passage of the 2002 Help America Vote Act, which paved the way for the widespread adoption of e-voting machines. But however promising these machines may have seemed, they did- and still do- pose major problems, including security risks, unreliability, and even incorrect vote tallying. Video the Vote monitors election integrity, and captured footage of some of these machine problems in 2006.
