Documentary Tonight: Election Day on PBS

We like to think our elections are organized and well run and ethical. And then 2000 happens. Or 2004. Yadda yadda yadda - George Bush. See why elections are important?!?

Filmmaker Katy Chevigny followed 11 stories during the election of 2004, including:

A Republican committeeman trying to ensure Republicans aren't intimidated in urban Chicago (which is overwhelmingly Democratic)... A South Dakota activist trying to get his fellow Native Americans to vote on a reservation...A Muslim in Dearborn Michigan pushing fellow Muslims to vote...A Shaker Heights Ohio first time volunteer who struggles in chaos...An representative from Fair Election International observing a St. Louis polling station in an African American neighborhood (spoiler alert: She's pretty horrified at what she finds)... An ex-felon trying to exercise his just reinstated right to vote.

That's only 6 - you can read about the others at the Election Day Website Watch it on your PBS station tonight, or watch it free online for one week at pbs.org

Monkeys, you should make sure to catch this great documentary. And vote, for the love of the Constitution! Cause if you don't vote, then you shouldn't be allowed to watch fireworks on Friday.

Below is the trailer, please pay close attention to the poll worker who tells the observer "(Voting) isn't really a right, it's a privilege." The observer mildly replies "I'd call it a right." Sigh.
