Uses sarcastic humor to show how voting works and doesn't work in the United States. It's hosted by Mo Rocca, a CBS News correspondent, a panelist on NPR's Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me!, and a former correspondent for The Daily Show. The film is structured as a road trip that starts when Mo makes an eye-opening discovery: The Constitution doesn't guarantee that everyone can vote. This puts the United States in the company of Libya, Iran, and Indonesia. With Todd Oldham, Mo looks into the fight over voter fraud and voter ID. He looks for the Electoral College; he talks about ballot design with Todd Oldham; and he meets experts and activists from all sides of the political spectrum who talk about why our voting system is broken and how it can be fixed.
