Nashville Election Reform Film Screening


Concerned voters in over thirty states have persuaded their legislatures to require voter-verified paper ballots. The Congress of the United States will be voting soon on requiring paper records. Meanwhile, Tennessee remains one of the states most vulnerable to having our elections hacked. On Monday, November 12, join us at the Belcourt Theatre to learn more and to see the theatrical premiere of UNCOUNTED:The New Math of American Elections, a new documentary by Nashville filmmaker David Earnhardt (www.UncountedTheMovie.com).


David began the filming for UNCOUNTED in 2005 at the National Election Reform Conference, an event which brought activists from more than thirty states to Nashville.

Over the next two years David traveled the country gathering stories of everyday Americans who witnessed elections being manipulated and stolen. UNCOUNTED shows people taking action to try and right the wrongs of U.S. elections -- often at great sacrifice to themselves. The film features a variety of computer, statistical, and election experts who prove how the unethical and illegal manipulation of the vote has changed the outcomes of elections on local, state, and national levels.

The festivities will begin at 6:30 PM with a wine and cheese reception celebrating the theatrical premiere of UNCOUNTED. The film will begin at 7PM and will be followed by a half-hour panel discussion. The admission price for the entire evening is $8. Ticket proceeds will benefit Gathering to Save Our Democracy and Common Cause, two organizations working to get voter verified paper ballots in Tennessee. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at the Belcourt Theatre. Copies of UNCOUNTED on DVD will be available for purchase at the premiere.

To help us prepare for everyone who attends, please send a quick reply by clicking here to let us know if you and any guests will be joining us. For those unable to attend, DVDs of UNCOUNTED are available for purchase online at www.UncountedTheMovie.com/order-the-dvd.html.

Come for the wine, come for the film, come to learn what you can do to help ensure the safety of your vote. Your help is needed to demand Voter Verified Paper Ballots in Tennessee!
