They is a tv show I watch from time to time. Main character was running for office in a democratic primary.

The person who lost wanted a recount. Then they found a device in the voting booth that can change your vote to the other opponent.

So they would get a recount. The person running who won agreeded to tge recount because they did not cheat.

Instead the party want the person to withdraw. Not because he did anything wrong.

Because a recount might effect another election. The part put the device so their man can win his election. Win the election the party has a super majority.
