Fiction Writers for Better Misinformation seeks to use misinformation to get voters more engaged in the electoral process. We welcome proposals for books, movies, propaganda campaigns, reality TV shows.
The Problem: Political commentators and strategists alike will tell you that the key to winning the 2012 Presidential election is Ohio and the Latino vote. But which is it? Voters, including Ohioans and Latinos themselves are confused about who really controls the elections – Ohioans or Latinos? And what if you’re a Latino living in Ohio – does that make you the super vote? Or do you cancel yourself out?
The Proposal: Settle the score once and for all with a reality TV show to decide who is the ultimate swing voter. Whichever demographic group wins will determine the outcome of all future elections. The stakes are high, so this will be a wonderfully competitive engagement, including musical, sing-off debates, quickfire campaign ad creation challenges, and America’s Next Top Presidential Deciders photo-shoot competitions judged by Tyra, because, after all, looks do matter.
The good news is that the rest of America will never have to vote again and all future Presidential campaigning will be directed exclusively toward the winning group.
