Lou Dobbs on Voting Machines

Counting votes in a democracy is critical. Gerrymandering has changed the landscape and has created narrow, razor-thin margins in many cases. Big elections come down to, literally, a small number of votes to decide the winner.

Wednesday night's report from Lou Dobbs explains how the Venezuelan election may have been stolen using Smartmatic voting equipment. A Harvard Professor who has studied the election suggest that results could be modified at the central tabulator without detection.
