The premise
Here’s the bit.
A glossy retro soul music video follows four friends who set out on foot to vote on November 3rd. Each polling place they reach turns out to be shut, staffed by a deadpan official who sends them farther up the road, once to a site that has become a big-box store. Along the way they pause to introduce themselves, one of them stubbornly billed as just Michelle, and complain about sore feet and the lack of a car. When they finally reach an open location they join a very long line, and the song keeps going as they reach the door, where a reminder about masks sets off a last round of groaning.
