    Will the 2008 elections be free and fair? This time on NOW.

    How safe is your right to vote? On Friday, November 30, at 8:30
p.m., former Justice Department official and voting rights activist
David Becker, who worked under both President Bush and President
Clinton, alleges a systematic effort to deny the vote to hundreds of
thousands, even millions of people. In a revealing interview with NOW's
David Brancaccio, Becker openly worries that the 2008 election will not
be free and fair. And is our own government part of the solution, or
part of the problem?
    On NOW Online, www.pbs.org/now, get more specific insight and
answers about voter issues, including the troubling effect of state
voter ID laws, voter caging, voter purging, voting machines and
surprising realities about local ballot initiatives.
