If I were writing a script for a film, I would have posited that
There is this computer geek, mid-twenties, MIT grad but slight ne'er do-well who has had his problems. He becomes intrigued with the hanky panky surrounding the 2000 election and serendipitously makes a discovery that the FL computers were hacked in a rather amateurish fashion. He finds the source of the hacking and realizes that the groups is going to do it again in Ohio and had done it before in Cleveland in 2004. Of course, there's a love interest who helps him, so here's some obligatory sex scene so you know he's a potent fellow, sort of a Revenge of the Nerds plot line. Anyway, he discovers that they're gonna do the same thing in Ohio, Florida, andPennsylvania in 2012 and of course, he's able to rewrite the code and slip the Trojan into the computers so that the fat asshole who is a closet case but never exposed as one thinks that the plan is on target until, on national TeeVee, it all falls apart, the last straw being the Ohio call for the opposition. The hero watches this and smiles grimly to himself as the RWer sputters and stutters and generally makes a fool of himself. The guy gets the girl and the implication is that they live happily ever after. The end titles begin and then are abruptly stopped when the fat man gets into his car to drive to a meeting and out of nowhere a delivery van blocks his driveway, two guys get out, hustle him into the back and a third guy gets into the now-abandoned car and drives It in the opposite direction, the implication being that the car will wind up like Oddjob's Pressing Engagement (as they termed it in Goldfinger) and the guy just disappears having taken nearly a billion dollars for a scheme which utterly failed.
This is a combination of a lot of films, but hey, what is Hollywood if not imitative?
