Seeing STARZ

By Mary Mancini

Defenders of democracy unite! Just in time for the crucial 2008 presidential election, Starz Edge and Starz Cinema present the world television premiere of Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections, the documentary that shows how election fraud changed the outcome of the 2004 election, led to even greater fraud in 2006 and now looms large over 2008 presidential race.

The film will premiere on Starz Edge on Monday, August 25 at 10:30 p.m. (et/pt). Starz Cinema will show Uncounted on Thursday, August 28 at 10:00 p.m.

The schedule of additional Starz Edge and Starz Cinema screenings of Uncounted throughout September and October can be found at Starz.com.

The provocative Uncounted examines in factual, logical and startling terms how easy it is to change election outcomes and undermine election integrity across the United States. The film shines some much-needed light onto:

  • Jim Crow-like Voter Suppression and Intimidation in the 21st Century
  • Exit Poll Discrepancies in 2004 and 2006
  • Undervoting up to 80% in Precincts
  • Electronic Voting Machines Altering Final Vote Tallies
  • Provisional Ballots Not Counted
  • The Privatization of the Election Process

In addition to being a searing indictment of the country’s election system and a stunning wakeup call for voters, Uncounted also tells the inspiring stories of three patriotic whistleblowers who recognize the threat to the core of our democracy and do the right thing – regardless of the consequences.

“The notion of stolen elections is something we assign to Third World countries, but not this beacon of freedom and democracy that we like to view ourselves as.” Bernie Ellis, Election Integrity Activist.
