Bob talks to David Earnhardt about his new film Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections. It's about the questionable practices and results of the last three national elections. The film deals with such voting issues as: suspect electronic voting machines, voter intimidation, exit poll discrepancies and media coverage. Then, for centuries, most of Europe was a battlefield and war was its defining narrative.
