Let's say you have picked a candidate for the Presidency of the United States.  After all the primary debates, campaign stops, stump speeches, conventions, ads, mailings, robo-calls, PAC's, Super PAC's, canvassing, the debates (including third party debates), yard signs, billboards and get out the vote campaigns - you have finally chosen someone to vote for.  Great!  But, guess what?  There is a growing chance that your vote just won't count.  I this episode, we take a look at information from a few different sources that expose the problems with using machines to count our votes.  Books by Mark Crispin Miller and Greg Palast as well as the fantastic citizen reporting from Bev Harris at Black Box Voting.  It's all enough to make you say "F**k Voting!".
