Vox and Netflix pulled out the big stops for the new documentary series Whose Vote Counts, Explained, an election-themed limited series which explains the voting system in the U.S. and dives into hot-button topics like voter suppression and voter fraud, the latter of which has been (misleadingly) bandied around a lot by our current president.
High-profile celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Selena Gomez, and John Legend narrate Whose Vote Counts, Explained, to speak about onging fears about the voting process being rigged — either by powerful donors and corporations — as well as concepts like gerrymandering, the Electoral College, voter suppression, fraud at the ballot box, and the ways votes are counted. This marks third time that DiCaprio and Gomez have signed on to serve as a narrator, who have previously worked on other documentaries such as 2007’s The 11th Hour and 2019’s Ice on Fire; and 2013’s Girl Rising and 2015’s Unity, respectively.
Here is the synopsis to Whose Vote Counts, Explained:
The election-themed limited series will be available for streaming on Monday, September 28, 2020 nearly a week after the National Voter Registration Day.
The right to vote is at the foundation of America’s democracy. But not every vote is created equal. How does the system work, and can it be fixed?
