Diebold is saying that the documentary is filled with inaccuracies, yet they haven't seen the movie yet. The points they used actually refer to a different movie, "Voter Gate". Diebold claims it's produced by the same company, but it's not."

Tennessee Tuxedo did NOT say "Help Mr. Wizard!", as is incorrectly asserted at the bottom of this page as I write this.

First of all, it's "Help! Mr. Wizard!" (Note extra punctuation.)

Second of all, it was Tutor Turtle who said this, as demonstrated by the fact that Mr. Wizard would then intervene in Tutor's desperate situation by saying something like:

"Trizzle, trazzle, trozzle, trome.
Time for Tutor to come home."

I just wanted to set the record straight and vindicate poor Tennessee Tuxedo's good name."
