The future of the nation was hanging by a …chad.

In 2000, the election of the U.S. Presidential boiled down to a few precious votes in the state of Florida — and a recount that would add "hanging chad" to every American's vocabulary.

This is the first time I've ever seen the tragic 2000 election story told in an interesting and entertaining way. The film shows how retail politics really works, including the idiosyncracies of local systems and local personalities. It had me rushing to Wikipedia to verify what eventually happened to the real folks involved.
