The Purge: Election Year puts a new spin on the Purge series by adding a political element to the story. Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell, Lost) plans to end the Purge if she is elected president against the minister opponent who is a pawn of the NFFA, National Founding Fathers Administration. Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) returns now as a secret service agent having come to terms with the loss of his son and realizing the vengeance he had desired in the previous film was caused by the evils of the Purge.
The secondary storyline is really the best part of this Purge film. Joe Dixon (Mykelti Williamson) steals the show as a shop owner screwed over by the Purge insurance company forced to protect his property. With the help of Marcos (Joseph Julian Soria) and traveling Purge night nurse Laney Rucker (Betty Gabriel), they fend off young teenage murderers and murder tourists.
