The 2010 midterm elections arrive with Barack Obama's Democrats facing a stalling economy, a resurgent right-wing movement, and a Supreme Court ruling that has made campaign financing harder to trace than ever. Fault Lines presenter Avi Lewis travels to Nevada, ground zero for the housing crisis, where Tea Party challenger Sharron Angle is trying to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and asks local organizers and voters whether the movement is grassroots anger or an Astroturf operation bankrolled by Washington money. In Florida, Lewis turns to a quieter but longer-lasting fight: the once-a-decade redrawing of political districts, where state legislators and map-makers are positioned to lock in partisan advantage for the next ten years regardless of how the vote count actually falls. Interviews with candidates, donors, and residents caught between wealth and economic hardship connect the two stories, showing how untraceable spending and redistricting both work to entrench power long after election night ends.
