The 2004 presidential election is the flashpoint here: reports of vote fraud in Ohio circulated online and in independent media while, according to the film, corporate outlets ignored or dismissed them. As the January 6, 2005 deadline for challenging the Electoral College count approaches, residents of a small village on the California coast pool funds to send a citizen delegation and a documentary crew to Ohio and Washington, D.C. to investigate directly. The film follows that group, a mix of ordinary residents and more prominent figures, as they gather what they present as evidence of a stolen election and lobby officials to act before the certification deadline. It frames their effort as an early, grassroots precursor to the later Election Protection movement built around securing accurate vote counts. Told largely through the delegation's own footage and testimony, the film stays close to their perspective on what they found and who they confronted, rather than offering outside verification of the claims.
