That movie just blows me away. It pisses me off, it's depressing and at the same time it gives me the chills. It's the voice of the people. They're trying and hopefully they won't be suffocated. Although the message at the end to vote is good, they make it sound like it's the solution. It is a good solution, and watching what's going on is great but it almost came off that that's the conclusion that they're happy with as well. Which obviously it isn't with all of their efforts but I feel the whole film was building and at the end it was the obvious. I just don't know. But I did find the whole film impactful.
I may be living up north in Alberta but we get a Spokane, Washington TV station. There was a news story on a 'glitch' at the polls in one of the surrounding communities. I saw it a couple weeks ago. The small details have faded, but the jist of it was a small community in the surrounding area wanted to take advantage of going for an early vote. They wanted to get a jump start on voting. They went to the location and were held at the door for hours, even though they were going on that day to avoid waiting hours on election day. The only excuse given all around was "there was a glitch in the system." The reporter went to all sources to try and get the answer and that was what everyone said. "There was a 'glitch' in the system, but it's all resolved." Yeah, right. A 'glitch.' ![]()
