The vote in 2008

I just finished watching NOW on PBS. This week's program is entitled "Will The 2008 Vote Be Fair?" and watching it was very disturbing.

Here's the show's description:

How safe is your right to vote? Former Justice Department official and voting rights lawyer David Becker, who worked under both President George W. Bush and former President Bill Clinton, alleges a systematic effort to deny the vote to hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of Americans. In a revealing interview with NOW's David Brancaccio, Becker openly worries that the 2008 election will not be free and fair. Is our government part of the solution, or part of the problem?

You can see it on video at the PBS website. Please watch it. I must say, knowing how Republicans are preventing likely Democrats from voting is really depressing.
