When a scrappy New York underdog livestreams his grassroots bid for mayor during a holiday season special election, he butts heads, and hearts, with the cynical journalist covering his campaign.

SYNOPSIS:

In a sharply satirical holiday rom-com, Ezra "Ezzy" Kaplan, a progressive, mixed-heritage New Yorker and livestream enthusiast, launches an improbable grassroots campaign for mayor during a special election set just days before Christmas. As his unfiltered charm and digital tactics begin to capture the city’s imagination, he finds himself repeatedly clashing with Bowie Carr, a no-nonsense political journalist assigned to cover his campaign. But what starts as mutual disdain morphs into reluctant attraction as Bowie witnesses the authenticity behind Ezzy’s chaos. With New York’s power elite fighting dirty, holiday pressure mounting, and romantic sparks flying, Ezzy and Bowie must decide what, and who, they’re really fighting for. Voting Machine is a festive, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt story about democracy, digital culture, and finding love in the political spotlight.
