Cynthia McKinney, a Democratic congresswoman from Georgia, becomes the thread running through this investigation into voter disenfranchisement in the United States. Director Ian Inaba builds the film around the 2000 and 2004 elections, tracing how black voters in Florida and Ohio were purged from rolls, turned away at polling places, or hit with broken machines and impossibly long lines. McKinney's own story runs parallel: an outspoken critic of the Bush administration after 9/11, she loses her seat in a bitterly contested primary, then wins it back, and the film uses her repeated re-election fights as a case study in how power pushes back against dissent. Interviews with voters, poll workers, and officials sit alongside news footage and congressional hearing clips, including testimony about companies manufacturing electronic voting machines with ties to the same officials certifying election results. The film's argument is blunt: that election administration in America has been shaped to produce predictable losers, and McKinney's career shows what happens to the people who say so out loud.
