Storyline
Tom Dobbs, comedic host of a political talk show - a la Bill Maher and Jon Stewart - runs for President of the US as an independent candidate who, after an issues-oriented campaign and an explosive performance in the final debate, gets just enough votes to win. Trouble is he owes his victory to a computer glitch in the national touch-screen voting system marketed by Delacroy, a private company with a rising stock price. To protect their fortune, Delacroy executives want to keep the glitch a secret, but one programmer, Eleanor Green, wants Dobbs to know the truth. Can she get to him? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Trivia
Christopher Walken's character, Jack Menken, mentions having worked with elephants in the circus when he was a kid. The summer he was 16 years old, Christopher Walken had a job as part of the lion-taming act of a traveling circus. See more »Goofs
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the paintball scene, at least one player does not have a hopper on his or her gun, and is therefore shooting blanks. See more »Quotes
