GUEST 2 (possibly moved to end of the hour):

Russell and his crew of filmmakers have been filming election related themes since 2003. They have traveled the US, recording elections, bewildered voters, activists protesting, corporate and government officials trying to cover up the flaws in the voting system. The website has a 30-minute video that is free to view called Votergate. http://www.votergate.tv
