An American election is, basically, hundreds of tiny local
ones, each run by different people with their own rules and
problems. Malindi Fickle’s remarkable vérité documentary focuses on
one—Marion County, Indiana—and follows the can-do county clerk and
her small coterie of employees as they prepare for Election Day
2004. Don’t expect fireworks, but the results are mesmerizing.
