    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Partially inspired by the 2017 special election for Georgia's 6th congressional district, where the Democratic and Republican parties and groups supporting them spent more than $55 million combined - the most expensive House Congressional election in U.S. history.
    • Goofs
      All elections for mayor in Wisconsin are non-partisan.
    • Quotes

      Diana Hastings: This system, the way we elect people, it's terrifying. And exhausting. And I think it's driving us all insane.

    • Crazy credits
      There are many extra scenes after the closing credits start to roll, and those credits restart several times. When they're about to end, Trevor Potter, former FEC chairman gives a brief, funny interview to director Jon Stewart.

    9/10
    Jon Stewart at his finest
    A wonderfully scathing take on the political campaign system in America, regardless of party, and how it hurts the entire country, but especially small towns that are completely ignored except during election season.

    And be sure to watch through the credits for a further reality check.

    FAQ1

    • Why Wisconsin? Sure, it very accurately describes the money in Wisconsin politics, but just curious.
