VARIETY
" With an impressive array of expert testimony, "Call It Democracy" thoughtfully probes events surrounding the U.S. presidential election of 2000. Far from being another attack on the election's much-disputed results, it's an illuminating and engrossing non-partisan look at the longstanding need to address issues including voters' rights and election reform. It could easily find a home on PBS, CNN, the History Channel or a major network.

Blending man-on-the-street comments with reflections from legal and
political experts and journalists from all sides of the spectrum, "Call
It Democracy" doesn't repeat Michael Moore's indignant "How could it
happen?" battle cry. Instead, helmer Matt Kohn operates from the
premise that with an Electoral College system, of course it could
happen. Commentators including Alan Dershowitz, Vincent Bugliosi and
former Senator Birch Bayh (D-IN) examine important historical events,
including the 1960 Kennedy vs. Nixon campaign, George Wallace's
attempted manipulation of the Electoral College in 1968, and prior
elections when the popular vote did not prevail. Kohn supplements the
piece with fresh footage from the November 2004 election and raises
compelling questions about the perils of electronic voting."-By LAEL

The New York Times
“The result is not only a very personal rehashing of the events… from a
multitude of opinions (scholars, scientists, politicians, and everyday
citizens), but a poignant reminder that election reform may be needed
to preserve voting rights in an era of butterfly ballots and
computerized voting machines” – Tracie Cooper

Ain’t It Cool News by Albert Lanier
“A soup to nuts approach to its subject. Whereas other docs might skimp here or skimp there on facts, Kohn provides an extremely watchable, highly relevant doc… finds its strength in research, effective interview scenes and intelligent argumentation of its positions… There are interesting facts and arguments abounding… highly stimulating intellectually due to its clear ability to articulate the inherent problems and dilemmas facing the voting process this year and perhaps in years to come…. although the major parties, political advocacy groups and every other kind of political organization under the sun says that every vote counts, it is very clear that they do not count every vote.”
