Guild Cinema This Weekend: How Ohio Pulled It Off
HOW OHIO PULLED IT OFF
Dirs. Charla Barker, Matthew Kraus, Mariana Quiroga - 2007
JANUARY 19 and 20 (SAT & SUN): 2:00 PM, Guild Cinema, ABQ
With the 2008 election fast approaching, interest is growing in all things political, but the real story of the next election goes beyond the parties and their platforms to the very foundations of democracy. HOW OHIO PULLED IT OFF offers sobering evidence of election fraud in the United States, and highlights the potential for future abuses. On election night 2004, across the United States and the world, citizens were glued to their televisions, waiting to discover who would win the greatest power position on the planet. The presidential decision came down to one state among fifty: Ohio.
What really happened in Ohio, on that fateful day in November? HOW OHIO PULLED IT OFF chronicles the theft of the presidency, and the public outcry that followed. Infuriated by official malfeasance and partisan indifference, citizens took swift action. Multitudes protested in the streets, the voting rights movement was revitalized, and the powers-that-be were forced to pay attention. The story continues today, casting a shadow of uncertainty on the 2008 election and beyond. More info: www.guildcinema.com

If this film interests you, then I would encourage getting a copy of both UNCOUNTED: The New Math of American Elections (https://www.uncountedthemovie.com/about-the-film.html) and also HACKING DEMOCRACY (https://www.hackingdemocracy.com/)
but as I've said before, this info is nothing new. Bob Fitrakis of Columbus, OH along with Harvey Wasserman and Steve Rosenfeld have a new book WHAT HAPPENED IN OHIO? (https://www.freepress.org/store.php#tnp) Fitrakis was one of only 4 people (including Ralph Nader, I might add) who filed suit to stop the certification of the OH vote in 2004. If you have about 1.5 hrs, I have posted a talk that Bob Fitrakis gave in Sept 2005 in Seattle that I attended while he was promoting his book DID GEORGE W. BUSH STEAL AMERICA'S 2004 ELECTION? It is in 11 links (due to YouTube constraints), the first link is here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UOGEYMt0_I)
