BoingBoing reader Dave Pentecost is one of a number of volunteer filmmakers who worked with Michael Moore to document election day conditions at polling sites throughout Ohio in November. Background on the project in these previous BoingBoing posts (one, two). Today, Dave tells BoingBoing:
Here are three clips of longer selections from the Video the Vote Ohio project. The longest clip, of voter statements about problems they had at the polls, is being reviewed by the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections. Link to videos at archive.org.
Here are a couple of Ohio papers on the recount: cleveland.com news story (Link), ohio.com news story (Link), and here's the lead from an AP story (Salon, Sunday Dec 5 — Link):
"Two major challenges are expected to unfold Monday when Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell certifies the state's final presidential election results, declaring President Bush the winner by about 119,000 votes. Lawyers representing voters upset about problems at the polls plan to contest the results with the Ohio Supreme Court, citing documented cases of long lines, a shortage of machines and a pattern of problems in predominantly black neighborhoods."
