Will the 2008 elections be free and fair?
How safe is your right to vote? Former Justice Department official and voting rights lawyer David Becker, who worked under both President Bush and President Clinton, alleges a systematic effort to deny the vote to hundreds of thousands, even millions of people. In a revealing interview with NOW's David Brancaccio, Becker openly worries that the 2008 election will not be free and fair. And is our own government part of the solution, or part of the problem?
On NOW Online, get more specific insight and answers about voter issues including the troubling effect of state voter ID laws, voter caging, voter purging, voting machines, and surprising realities about local ballot initiatives.
