All of the main original cast members, as well as four members of the secondary cast, who appeared in the original version participated, except for the late John Spencer. Spencer's role as Leo McGarry was filled by Sterling K. Brown.

Quotes

C.J. Cregg: It's called poetry, me bucko. Maybe, just maybe. just maybe, those 42 people are teaching us something about ourselves. That freedom is the glory of God, that democracy is its birthright, and that our vote matters.
