This is a great example on how the Democratic Party does "dirty politics" though the way it applies the laws here are laughable. So in a close election Alicia gets told what the party line is and after winning the election is slapped and told to wait for 4 years. Actually it is understated here but really Peter is behind all of this. First he tries to lower turn out so she will lose.
Then failing that, he has appointed a corrupt man in charge of his voting machines. Actually it turns out the guy had helped him win both of his offices. What is laughable is he threatens Alicia in his office, she records him making the threats, presents it in court, and the guy is able to walk out of the proceedings and is not even charged or arrested for corruption even after she presents the recording in an open hearing. This means Peter, his boss is behind it. This might spoil what is coming the last season but there is no doubt Peter has become jealous of how capable his wife has become.
The guy who runs the voting machines makes a second threat in his office to wait 4 years, but Alicia can not record this one. Then her Defense attorney lies and hangs her out to dry at the next hearing. The weakness of the way the law is handled in this one is the only problem with it.
The Democratic drama is handled well as any prime time soap script. This show ran from 2009 until after Hillary ran in 2016. There is no doubt this entire series was an attempt to help her win election. Unfortunately, her campaign turned out to be even uglier than this fictional one. Acted well and the old House/Boston Legal team is still producing good drama though as usual the scripts are getting more and more hokey here.
