2000 election recount: drama or comedy?

So Hollywood is making a movie based on the controversial 2000 presidential election recount. It's about time. That's a compelling story with wonderful narrative elements -- intrigue, politics, competition and power-grabbing.
My question: Is it drama or a comedy?
What happened in 2000 completely changed the path our country has taken and will adversely affect generations to come. Sadly, the outcome of the recount will prove to be one of the low points in U.S. history.
