Featured in the report is the band the Disco Biscuts and the organization HeadCount which has worked hard to register hundreds of thousands of young voters at live music events face to face and deliver the registration forms to states to ensure folks are officially registered. Concert goers were the young people featured as "too stupid to vote." There is now a vibrant discussion on their site where one of the young people featured expresses his displeasure of being quoted out of context

"Yeah, I got fucked. I'm the second incorrect answer to rowe vs. wade or whatever. I mean let's get serious. I'm a graduating college student who answered all of the question correctly except that one and what state is John McCain from. That shit was slandered as fuck. It was kinda funny seein myself on that shit though. The funnier part is that right after I watched it I asked the like ten people sitting around me if they new what that case was and only one person knew it. Fuck the editor of that clip."

While the piece runs "stupid answers" by voters their focus is all about young people and that they should do their "civic" duty and not vote. The problem with this logic is also there on film where other voters that are much older are just as ill informed. Oops! Seems they lost their thesis.

There are also allegations by a young women in the piece appearing at 1:20 who answers that there are "12 US Senators." The same woman later says that she she was responding to a question about how many US Supreme Court Justices there are.

According to an interview with Marc Brownstein at HeadCount the reporters went through many people who were giving correct answers. Some were educated on some things and not educated on others, and volunteers, activists, and teachers in the crowd were also those most educated about issues. They didn't make the report. Brownstein also says that his important plug for the non-partisan voter guides HeadCount distributes as a means of better educating young voters about what is on the ballot, was cut out of the piece.

John Stossel by contrast is a frequent contributor to the conservative blog Townhall.com and a self proclaimed Libertarian. Here is another link, to his own Wikipedia page that has further accounts of other reports he has done where he takes people out of context.

20/20 continues to support the piece but has yet to refute any of these claims. There has also yet to be any statement from Barbara Walters or producer Andrew Sullivan.

There has been a response from the Youth Community, however. The Bus Federation with groups hosting Trick or Vote this Halloween has done their own "voter report".
