Electoral Dysfunction

After discovering that the right to vote is missing from the Constitution, political humorist Mo Rocca (CBS Sunday Morning; NPR's Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!; former correspondent for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) sets out on a road trip to see how voting works--and doesn't work--in America. He heads to Indiana, home to some of the strictest election laws in the country, and meets one Republican and one Democrat who take him inside their efforts to get out every vote during the 2008 Presidential election. As he progresses on his journey, Mo searches for the Electoral College; critiques ballot design with Todd Oldham; investigates the heated battle over Voter ID and voter fraud; and explores the case of a former felon who was sentenced to ten years in prison--for the crime of voting. Eye-opening and irreverent, ELECTORAL DYSFUNCTION was written, produced and directed by DAVID DESCHAMPS, LESLIE D. FARRELL and BENNETT SINGER, whose collective credits include multiple Emmy, Peabody and duPont-Columbia awards.
