Storyline
November, 2004, New Mexico. Bud is a slacker with one good thing in his life, his engaging fifth-grade daughter Molly. On election day, Bud is supposed to meet her at the polling place. When he doesn't show, she sneaks a ballot and is about to vote when the power goes off. It turns out that New Mexico's electoral votes will decide the contest, and there it's tied with one vote needing recasting - Bud's. The world's media and both presidential candidates, including the current President, descend on Bud in anticipation of his re-vote in two weeks. Can the clueless Bud, even with the help of Molly and a local TV reporter, handle this responsibility? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Goofs
Continuity: When the media first show up at Bud's trailer, he looks out through a window on the right side (from the inside the way he is facing) of the door to his trailer and pulls down the left blind. When the camera changes to an outside view of the trailer, he pulls down the same blind, and the one beside it is already down, as though the sides changed positions. See more »Quotes
