As the election nears and accusations of voter fraud run rampant from party to party, Bill Moyers Journal takes a close
look at the charges and what you can do to protect your vote. Bill Moyers sits down with Mark Crispin Miller, professor
of media ecology in the Department of Culture and Communication at New York University, who has been following voter
fraud allegations in his blog, News from the Underground. Miller is an expert on propaganda and media. His book, "Loser
Takes All," is an anthology of writings covering election fraud.

Truthout is a full-service news agency dedicated to establishing a powerful, stable voice for independent journalism.
The core of our mission is educational, as we believe the biggest impediment to responsible decision-making is a lack of
information. We provide citizens with reader-supported news instead of advertiser-supported news. Our direction is one
of social progress, as we attempt to shed light on issues of vital interest to the community such as health care, the
environment, international relations and human rights.
