Cast

Plot summary

Peter arrives at a bar, forgetting that it is election day and that he forgot to vote. He takes a cab, but after the driver espouses racist views, he leaves and takes another. The new cab driver seems to be a Nazi, and Peter leaves again for another cab, but the driver, an immigrant who tells Peter that he will soon gain citizenship, espouses racism against Japanese people. Peter leaves the cab and encounters a man wearing a hat with the Confederate battle flag, asking Peter if he wants a ride. Peter runs to the polling place and does not make it in time. He tries convincing the poll worker, who is non-white, that he should be able to vote, telling the worker that he does it “for people like you”; a man subsequently punches Peter after perceiving him as racist.
