Show notes

Forty blocks, five boxes on a ballot paper and one question about street lamps. Tomas Reyn follows two of the volunteers who knocked on every door on the avenue, twice. They explain the card with five photographs of the same corner, and the surprise in the answers: the split is by floor, not by age. We end in the school hall where the count will happen.
