Fox Searchlight has acquired the film rights to Billy Ray’s fact-based How to Rig an Election.
The film will follow the story of GOP operative Allen Raymond’s downfall following a campaign to jam phone lines at Democratic Party headquarters in an effort to swing a 2002 Senate election in New Hampshire.
Interestingly, Searchlight also acquired the rights to the Raymond memoir this January. They are looking to start sometime next year.
