Rady Ananda, OpEdNews.com:
At least a dozen videos and a couple dozen books or official reports on recent elections have been published. Dorothy Fadiman's Stealing America: Vote by Vote is the single best recommendation for those who have neither seen nor read any of them......Stealing America is presented in a quiet, intelligent and thoughtful manner, similar to the talking-heads style used in "What the Bleep." But Fadiman intersperses Comedy Central schtiks that give comic relief for the audience, and also link two major media efforts to breach the media iron curtain. It's sometimes brilliant, sometimes comic.

Harvey Wasserman, The Free Press:
Dorothy Fadiman's powerful, moving, infuriating, comprehensive and brilliant new film might well be re-named "The Crime of the Century."
We all now know that the elections of 2000 and 2004 were stolen. The only thing that the American people can be proud of about George W. Bush is that they (or we) have never chosen him President.
Fadiman's many awards include an Emmy and an Oscar nomination, and in this excellent film, we can see why. She uses these 70 cinematic minutes to patiently, methodically and convincingly dismantle any possible remaining arguments against the reality of what was done to the American democratic process in 2004, primarily in Ohio.
With neither hysteria nor hyperbole, she presents a series of interviews with voters, election officials, writers and experts who have followed the theft since before it was perpetrated (by way of disclosure, brief interviews with myself and my frequent co-author Bob Fitrakis appear in the film). Fadiman wisely peppers the piece with clever, on-point clips from the major media, most importantly from Comedy Central.

Kip Humphrey, Computer Scientist:
"What I really like about the film is, while presenting the full story of our broken election, you manage to convey the true heartache and great sadness arising out of the realization of its implications to ourselves and our country. Ending the film with an awakening determination and opportunities to act is brilliant and a perfect lead to follow up with audiences. It left me deep in thought about democracy and my responsibility in spite of my being enveloped in this struggle for years."
