New Documentaries Investigate The Controversial 2004 Presidential Election

A year ago this month, Americans came out to vote for their president in one of the tightest races in US history, as filmmakers around the country showed up with their cameras to document the process. Now that Americans have had time to digest the results, and filmmakers have had time to edit their footage, there is a crop of new documentaries that pose very different questions about the same election - questions like "How could Kerry have lost?" and "Did those computerized machines really count your vote?"

The latter may sound like a conspiracy theory to some, but after a look at Votergate, which investigates shocking flaws in the new computer voting systems, it's hard not to wonder who really won the election.
