Corrected entry: Early in the film, the girl says, "If you have one more felony, they'll take me away." If he had any felony, he wouldn't be able to vote. Kind of blows the whole film out of the water.
Swing Vote (2008)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Joshua Michael Stern
Starring: Kevin Costner, Kelsey Grammer, Paula Patton, Madeline Carroll
Continuity mistake: During the final debate scene when they show the two candidates on stage with the monitors behind them, the background on the screens does not match the background behind them at the camera angle used. You can see the rows of stars, but not the rest of the background which would be in line with their heads. (01:49:10)
Bud Johnson: I know exactly what you mean Andy.
President Andrew Boone: Do you?
Bud Johnson: Maybe not.

Correction: The basic premise of the movie blows the entire movie out of the water. The President is elected by electoral votes, individual votes do not mean anything. You have to file this under "suspension of disbelief".

Except that in the state of New Mexico, ex-cons are permanently banned from voting. Since both presidential candidates want all of Bud's information, his criminal past would be made available to them and they would also realise the same thing.
