The story of Athan Gibbs, an accountant who invented the "TruVote" machine to provide a verifiable paper trail, is detailed. Gibbs's machine was rejected by Georgia officials in favor of Diebold. Gibbs died in a "tragic accident" in 2004, one week after a major article about his work was published. The hosts compare his death to the suspicious car crash of reporter Michael Hastings.

A clip features a reporter questioning why Diebold, a maker of ATM machines with receipts, would produce voting machines without an audit trail. The hosts argue that the system is designed to provide only the "idea" of voting. They compare the superior record-keeping of Home Depot to the opaque and lengthy counting process of the U.S. election system.
