Denial

A documentary that is almost a thriller, the movie chronicles the unsung heroes who administer elections. The horrific abuse inflicted on the election workers seen here is widespread in world elections. What we see in this Arizona, U. S. A. Election is an admirably transparent process where the top election officials are accountable to the voters and the country. One has the impression viewing this mini-documentary that the election workers are totally committed to fair elections in which every vote is counted. But it's a bit of a thankless task. The workers hear about every glitch, and every conspiracy theory, and never about their tireless work in fixing those glitches and ensuring that the votes accurately reflect the public will. What gives rise to the widespread public distrust is not dealt with here. It's just a picture of how it feels to be an election worker at this time in history.
