In the northwest corner of Louisiana, a candidate for parish sheriff is demanding a recount after losing by a single vote in an election where more than 43,000 people voted.

    If memory serves he was dissolutioned with voting and his daughter tried to convince him to vote. She eventually tried to cast his ballot herself (that she filled out) but ended up damaging the ballot trying to put it into a machine. She told him but he kept it secret throughout the movie.

    So because his ballot was damaged they had him recast it so they could count it.

    At one point in the movie one of the candidates literally tries to bribe him with a job offer.

    And in the end I believe the movie ended with him sitting down in front of the presidential candidates and having them do a debate right there in front of him on national TV. They never said who he votes for. They just leave it there which I think was a more powerful ending than I’d they said who he voted for.

    Edit: I remember enjoying that movie but never remembering the title, so thank you.
