WATCH: HBO "Recount" People Set Up Original Florida Voting Machines

They're ba-ack! The infamous Election 2000 Votomatic reappeared in L.A. this afternoon, complete with butterfly ballots and hanging chads. Were they any less confusing in L.A. than they were in Broward County?

This morning I went to the Grove in Los Angeles where HBO, promoting their new film RECOUNT, set up the actual Votomatic Florida voting machines used in the controversial 2000 Presidential Election, complete with butterfly ballots and hanging chads, so that people can judge for themselves whether they could have effectively cast their ballot. RECOUNT premieres May 25 on HBO. For more information about the state of America's voting system, click here.

Why Tuesday? is an effort to make America's democracy stronger through increased voter participation; we work to make election reform an issue that our politicians cannot afford to avoid. Read more campaign coverage from OffTheBus by clicking here.
