Election Day looms, and there's debate and excitement about fresh new faces and, maybe, an upset in Congress.
But beneath all that, there lurks a fear. Fear that in tight races across the country outcomes could be determined not by votes but by problems -- with new technology, with registration, with voter ID.
This hour On Point: A week and a day before the midterms, we're looking at the validity of the American vote.

Listen
The midterm elections are eight days away now, and if "Video the Vote.org" has its way -- you might be caught on tape while heading to cast your vote.
Video the Vote is recruiting citizen volunteers to videotape the polls on November 7th to document and make a record of Election Day.
The citizen video campaign is the inspiration of Guerilla News Network co-founder Ian Inaba. He is also the Director of the Sundance award-winning documentary "American Blackout" about alleged African-American voter disenfranchisement in 2000 and 2004.
He joins us from Oakland, California.
