Hi Urb,If you'd like the "true story" poll to go live, could you delete "STILL ADDING/DELETING ANSWER OPTIONS, SUGGESTIONS WELCOME?" and also options 5, 21, and 22 since they haven't been released? You could add several of the movies you have listed above: they may not have as many votes but they might very well get some votes in the poll and some people like to find out about movies from polls. Also, a few of the documentaries have a fairly good number of votes. :)

I initially didn't feel the true story split of this poll suggestion was as ready as the fictional side. I put some additional work into it and it should be good to go now. I added a recap for each answer that details the campaign/election connection for each movie. I thought these movies had a clear connection to the topic, but it may not be obvious to some poll takers. Also, some movies have a broader scope with the campaign/election period only being one aspect. I didn't feel comfortable adding movies with under 500 votes or mixing in documentaries with biographies. So, I didn't add any titles leaving it at about twenty options. I did do a fair amount of research to ferret out prospective "true-story" campaign/election movies, but was hoping for some suggestions to round out the list. I deleted as requested the "STILL ADDING/DELETING ANSWER OPTIONS, SUGGESTIONS WELCOME?" banner and also the upcoming options that haven't been released, as I thought this half would be viable in a future election cycle or when another true-story related movie made it timely. The Pope (2018) Drama | Post-productionA biographical drama about Pope Francis, the 266th Pope and his papal election.Director:Fernando Meirelles | Stars:Juan Minujín, Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce, Matthew T. Reynolds Reagan (I) Biography, Drama | Pre-productionA biographical drama of Ronald Reagan, from his childhood to his time in the oval office.Director:Sean McNamara | Stars:Dennis Quaid, Jon Voight, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Robert Davi   Roosevelt Biography, Drama, History | AnnouncedA biographical drama about President Theodore Roosevelt.Director:Martin Scorsese | Star:Leonardo DiCaprioUntitled Ulysses S. Grant Project Drama, War | AnnouncedA biographical drama about President Ulysses S. Grant Director:Steven Spielberg | Star:Leonardo DiCaprio Untitled Lee Atwater Project | Biography, Drama, History | AnnouncedA biographical drama about political strategist Lee Atwater, who crafted winning Presidential campaigns for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.Producer: Adam McKayP.S.In retrospect, I did add these two lower voted election-themed movies that were well watched TV movies in their respective countries. They may well be popular choices with British and Canadian poll takers. Coalition (2015 TV Movie) | Drama 7.2 Votes: 187Movie details the formation of a coalition government between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrat parties following the 2010 United Kingdom general election after neither secured enough votes to form a majority government. Trudeau (2002 TV Movie) | Biography, Drama 6.7 Votes: 402 Movies is a biographical account of Canada's controversial and flamboyant Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. It details his political career up to the patriation of the Canadian Constitution. A prequel, Trudeau II: Maverick in the Making (2005) focuses on Pierre Trudeau's political career in Quebec before he came to Ottawa.
