Synopsis:
Tom Dobbs, comedic host of a political talk show - a la Bill Maher and Jon Stewart - runs for President of the US as an independent candidate who, after an issues-oriented campaign and an explosive performance in the final debate, gets just enough votes to win. Trouble is he owes his victory to a computer glitch in the national touch-screen voting system marketed by Delacroy, a private company with a rising stock price. To protect their fortune, Delacroy executives want to keep the glitch a secret, but one programmer, Eleanor Green, wants Dobbs to know the truth.
Was shot from December 12th 2005 to February 2006 in Toronto
What Robin Williams said:
It's Barry Levinson and we have Lewis Black, playing a writer and Laura Linney playing this computer programmer who tries to warn me that the election, you know, that there's a glitch. Basically he gets elected by a computer glitch. Could it happen? No... no way. The idea of talking about all those things that, politically, could happen and at the same time talking about the party system and what it's become yeah, it's interesting.
