Piece Description

We don't exactly know how these contraptions work, but surely our cherished right to vote is protected by the machinery inside. Now the toy you loved as a child powers the electoral process! A short piece by Davis Radio Theater (based in Davis, California).

Timing and Cues

GENERAL ELECTION SCRIPT:
Only a few months ago, candidates and propositions made the first cut during primary election season. But what truly determined those choices--and will the same forces play a role this November? Davis Radio Theater wonders if the circuitry in those voting machines is far simpler than ever suspected.

PRIMARY SEASON SCRIPT:
With 21 states holding primaries on Tuesday, it's very important to trust the electronic voting machines that were designed to make the process easier.

But what if the circuitry inside was far simpler than we ever suspected? Davis Radio Theater, based in Davis, California, has this take on the matter.
