EP08 Question


Can somebody explain to me the whole voting situation they had going on in this episode?

I assumed, they wanted a ballot so they could make extra copies and everybody they knew would have 2 ballots or something.

Instead, they only traded real ballots with their fakes. What was the point of that? They will still only get 1 vote per person. Why not just use the real ballot and vote for the guy they want?

reply

I can only assume that the ballot paper was rigged (they had signatures scribbled on them) and that by taking one from a particular polling station to a different polling station, it would be the cue for corrupted returners to announce the bogus winner. I think!

To start, they have a stamped empty ballot. They fill it
with the name of their candidate. The "voter" goes in,
receives a blank ballot, casts the rigged onenin the urn,
and brings back the blank ballot. The system is repeated
with the next "voter" in line.

This arrangement garantees that the vote goes their way
and circumvents the blank ballots control system.
