My favorite of the bunch, since I work at putting on elections:
By the people [DVD] : democracy in the wild / [Arlington, VA] : PBS Home Video, c2006.
Also consider making a poster asking people to work at putting on the election. Your County can provide details. To those people who point out how badly elections are run, I say 2 things:
You don’t get what you don’t pay for, as most Registrar of Voters are underfunded.
If you want to do something to improve elections, work on this side of the table at the polls.
