Election Dysfunction, Film Review

This 90-minute feature film opposes Voter ID laws. At one point Mo
 Rocca asks an Indiana Republican, "Can you provide me with one example
 of voter fraud?" The person cannot. That indicates that neither of
 them read J. Christian Adams new book, Injustice.

Adams provides
several examples, even a prosecution and conviction. The person
 convicted was used by Rooca as an example of being punished for voting
 after his conviction contrary to law. Rocca does not explain what he
 did to violate voting laws. Adams does. This film  makes arguments
 based on feelings and what women want, not based on law and the
 Constitution. It is how Obama thinks. Laws are simply barriers to what
 he wants to do so he ignores them. City officials in Cambridge, MA
 host City of Harvard University and Harvard officials share his
 philosophy of law enforcement.
 Rocca does not mention the several documented and prosecuted and
 convicted instances of intimidation by The New Black Panther Party of
 white voters. He only mentions wild unfounded accusations of paranoid
 black people who see racism everywhere. Rocca does not mention the
 convictions of ACORN workers of voter fraud. Rocca includes a clip of
 Eric Holder speaking on behalf of any (paranoid?) people denied their
 right to vote. This after Rocca explains that voting is not a right.
 It was left to the states to regulate. Rocca says what is needed is
 uniform federal laws. Rocca did not mention that Holder and a number
 of Justice Department staff attorneys refuse to enforce the Voting
 Rights Act in a race neutral manner. That shows again that he and the
 film-makers did not read Adams' book. This is pure propaganda and it
 is being broadcast just before the election to enable more abuses and
 to support Obama's re-election. This is another shameful exploitation
 of taxpayer funds broadcasting the film on PBS stations.

 Electoral Dysfunction, a feature-length documentary created by a team
 of award-winning filmmakers, uses humor and wit to take an
 irreverent–but nonpartisan–look at voting in America. Slated for
 theatrical release and PBS broadcast in the fall of 2012, the film
 stars political humorist Mo Rocca, a correspondent for CBS Sunday
 Morning, a panelist on NPR’s hit quiz show Wait, Wait ... Don’t Tell
 Me!, and a former correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
