1932 presidential election. A long line of people (the line goes past several buildings and disappears around a corner) leads to a building door. “Board of Elections Meets Here” signs hang on the building’s windows—it is a designated polling station. Video cuts to shot of photographers snapping pictures of Franklin D. Roosevelt checking in with voting clerks. He stands with his arm linked in his son’s arm for balance. Then FDR stands in a voting booth with the curtain pushed aside, still grasping his son’s arm. Next shot is of Herbert Clark Hoover handing his paper voting ballot to a man who drops it in a voting box. Video cuts to shot of a young man tapping keys on a typewriter. Next to the young man is an auto-typist or memory typewriter. (Typewriters that read roles of perforated paper. The hole patterns corresponded to text to be typed.) Several different shots follow: a radio announcer in front of microphone, a man talking on phone, a large board where men are making some sort of vote tally next to state names, someone at a typewriter. FDR announces winning by a landslide. Crowds cheer outside in the dark at Times Square (lit up, blinking signs are visible in background and a spotlight moves over crowd).
