The work of elections in the US has fundamentally changed. For decades, election administration was considered a significant but quiet civil service job. Since 2020 election workers have dealt with endless harassment, accusations of wrong-doing, constant questioning of their integrity, and coordinated strategies designed to deter and distract them from their most important work. With a controversial presidential election ahead, US election officials, in rural and urban areas of FL, OH, WI and MI, hold the line against conspiracies and falsehoods about their work.  The film tracks the transformation of this small group of politically diverse government workers to champions of unbiased, non-partisan civil service and warriors for free and fair elections.
