Adults
"Uncounted," a documentary about the disenfranchisement of voters, will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, 102 S. Second St.
This documentary by David Earnhardt explores reasons why votes have not been counted correctly in elections since 1999. Insufficient numbers of voting machines, machines which did not operate, inaccurate voter registration records, machines which "flipped" votes or recorded thousands of votes in precincts with fewer than a thousand registered voters are among the causes, according to the film.
Earnhardt shows voters patiently waiting 6-9 hours in the rain and reflects on the numbers of others who could not wait because of family or work obligations.
Movie-goers will be invited to stay to discuss the film and to learn about legislation designed to address some of the problems.
The film is being shown as part of a "Friday Flick" series sponsored by the church's Social Justice Committee.
