I saw the movie. It's not too bad. It is biased, but far less than I expected. The writing and acting are decent. Principles enunciated by the Pub side are spoken in the movie, if you listen closely. A fairer film would have given far more dimension to the conservative points.

I feel certain Dems are now outraged that the movie didn't corroborate their arguments more unequivocally.

Dems in the fight and in the media were and are sincere in their take, in my opinion. And they sincerely believed and believe the Republicans were cynically suppressing votes.

However, I would criticize their side in these three ways:
1. their stances on points of contention, in general, are extremely situational and elastic, far more inconsistent than their opponents
2. as a group they are laughably ignorant of the other side's well-reasoned positions
3. their opponents may acknowledge their sincerity, but owe the Dems no "benefit of the doubt" on account of ignorance of a. their own hypocrisy or b. the honesty and validity of their opponents positions

Some Rats actually believe the nonsense their demagogues spew. But the ones making the decisions know it is all a lie. Florida was no different.

Liberals are always good for a few laughs.  Thanks for the ping.
