Win, Lose, or Draw Straws
Win, Lose or Draw Straws is a rare political film that brings together left, right, center, and agnostic by exposing a little-known oddity in US electoral politics, the existence and resolution of races that end in perfect ties. Travel the country meeting those whose fate, representation, and policy decisions that affect real lives come down to a coin flip, straw draw, card game, or another "game of chance". In a time when politics is incredibly high stakes, solving important races with a coin flip is an unimaginable reality for most casual observers and political junkies alike. This roller coaster ride through local politics all the way up to presidential campaigns seeks to inspire change in our electoral system as a whole and the personal behavior of citizens by shining a bright light on the importance of individual citizen participation in selecting our leaders.
