So you’ve cast your vote and now all you can do is wait until tonight to watch the returns roll in. Sure, you could spend your day obsessively clicking on the political sites and following the exit polls, but you know those are notoriously unreliable. Fortunately, you have a number of free viewing options only a mouse click or two away. We’ve already told you about Crawford, the documentary about George W. Bush’s adopted hometown, which is available on Hulu. (And if you really want to relive the entire election season, Hulu has all four debates, all of the relevant SNL skits and Daily Shows, and even a selection of campaign speeches, if you’re a real masochist.)
We also told you about the Iraq War documentary No End in Sight, still available on YouTube, and Michael Moore’s Slacker Uprising, which you can download from his website as long as you aren’t Canadian. (His rules, not ours.) And of course there’s Nerve’s contribution, courtesy of the Screengrab’s own Phil Nugent: The 20 Greatest Campaign Ads of All Time.
The mother lode of free online documentaries can be found at (duh) freedocumentaries.org. Here you can watch HBO’s terrific and terrifying expose of voter fraud Hacking Democracy, and then spend the rest of the day wondering if your vote ended up being erased by a giant magnet. Take a nostalgic look back at the fun-filled 2000 presidential election with Unprecedented, or examine the not-at-all-relevant-this-year issue of African-American voter suppression in American Blackout. By the time you’re done with all that, why, you may never vote again!
