    ps: I was elected, please vote in the name of being elected!

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    At nine o¡¯clock, several key members of the election committee appeared on the steps next to the stadium. The leader was lawyer Jaxon. He held an envelope in his hand, and inside the envelope was the result of the vote.

    At this time, everyone¡¯s eyes, including the reporters¡¯ cameras and camera lenses, were all focused on Jaxon.

    Jaxon smiled, leaned in front of the microphone, and said loudly: "Dear residents of Braddock and guests from the media, I will announce the results of this vote. No matter what the result is, I hope everyone can still work together in the future.  Let¡¯s work together for a better future for Braddock.¡±

    Jackson made a simple opening statement, and then, under everyone's urging, he opened the envelope and took out a page: "I will first announce the results of the three referendums"

    "Oh, my God, what is this old man Jaxon doing?" Luka said dissatisfiedly. He only cared about whether Wang Lei could be elected. As for the referendum, he was not interested at all. The votes were filled in according to samples.

    David Johnson¡¯s voice also sounded in the live broadcast of the cable news station: ¡°Wow, this old man is really hateful, knowing that we don¡¯t care about this.¡±

    Peggy said from the side: "Actually, these referendums are still very important. No matter who is elected, they have to recognize the results of the referendum, which will limit their policy plans. In addition, these three referendums were held by the former town mayor.  What Hawk proposed, whether they can pass the vote will also give us an idea of ??the direction of the town mayor election.¡±

    "The typhoon has come. We don't need to look at the direction of the wind, we just want to see the result." David shouted out their wishes on behalf of the audience in front of the TV.

    Jaxon obviously also knows that everyone is the focus of attention, and he did this deliberately. Otherwise, if everyone knows who the newly elected mayor is, they will probably disperse immediately, and no one will pay attention to other results.

    There are three proposals submitted to the referendum: "tax reduction and service fee collection", "library closure and new small library plan", and "demolition of the football field and nearby blocks and construction of new blocks".

    The result surprised Wang Lei. All three bills were vetoed. Even Jaxon, who should remain absolutely neutral, said: "Although these bills were all vetoed, we hope to have a better way to solve the current situation."  dilemma."

    "Why do I feel that Hawke's situation has become very bad?" Peggy's voice sounded confused on the TV.

    David Johnson also said in a low voice: "Yes, these three bills were promoted by Hawke. Although this does not mean that Hawke will lose the election, will this cause everyone to be dissatisfied with him?  So vote for Rex?¡±

    "It's possible, but what's even worse is that Hawke continues to be re-elected, but his policies are rejected, which will doom him to still be ineffective in his second term." Peggy said with regret.

    David's voice became a little excited: "Yes, this is the worst situation. This is also a dilemma that the democratic system must face. It makes the efficiency of decision-making very inefficient. This is also the result of some powerful forces.  The most important reason why the country adheres to the dictatorship is that they can carry out many super projects that Americans cannot afford. But here, building a green space of dozens of square meters may require several referendums and delays of more than ten years.  The year cannot be determined.¡±

    "However, despite the corruption and decision-making errors caused by dictatorship, as well as the possible harm to the interests of citizens, the democratic system is still worthy of our persistence, isn't it?" Peggy raised objections from the side.

    "Of course, this is not the topic we are going to debate today. We will continue to pay attention to the results of Braddock's vote."

    "Wow haha, the big devil Hawke is finished!" On the court, Luka happily twisted his big butt. This is good news. At least the court is temporarily saved. As for Hawke, if he is elected, will he continue to promote this  Plan, that¡¯s for the future.

    His voice caused the people around him to look sideways. Even Hawke, who was standing on the other side, raised his head and glanced this way.

    Jaxon then announced the results of the election of the town council members. From time to time, some people in the crowd cheered for the winner, but they received very few responses. Everyone was paying attention to the final results.

    Among the candidates for town councillors, Walker, Brady and Colin, only Brady was successfully elected.

    "The following are the results of the town mayor election that everyone is most looking forward to"

    Jaxon¡¯s words were immediately interrupted by a burst of cheers, and everyone was impatiently waiting.

    "Okay, here comes the most exciting part, is it the expected Hawke, orThe same-looking Rex?  "David Johnson roared passionately like a football commentator.

    Jaxon looked at the words on the paper and read slowly: "Candidate Hawke, received 374 votes"

    "oh!"

    As soon as Jaxon said this result, the following words were interrupted by a burst of warm cheers and sighs.  374 votes. The last time Hawke was elected, he received only 239 votes. This means that the number of votes Hawke received this time was a full 135 votes more than the last time.

    This is not over yet. In the last vote, Hawke's support rate was as high as 63%, nearly twice that of his opponent, and more than a hundred votes more.

    ? 374 votes, which was almost all the votes cast in the last election.

    Everyone feels that the turnout this time is higher than last time, but can it be doubled?  Absolutely impossible.

    "Rex!" Emily grabbed Wang Lei's hand. She knew how hard he had worked for this election and was afraid that he would not be able to accept the reality of failure.

    "Damn it, why did so many people vote for the Big Devil?" Luka also lowered his head, looking listless.

    "Rex, don't be sad, you're still young, you can do it next time" Hu Shuying tried to comfort her son, but she was also very sad. The surrounding environment, the media's hype, and the attention of many people made the joy of success impossible.  While doubling it, it also makes the loser feel even more sad.

    Does anyone still pay attention to the feelings of losers?  Even if Wang Lei is eighteen years old, an eighteen-year-old candidate is still a failed candidate and has no news value.

    Only Colin¡¯s eyes were bright and his lips were moving, as if he was calculating something.

    "Ha, it's okay, I lost, but our stadium was saved, right?" Wang Lei shook his head, trying to be more relaxed and not take those things to heart, but he felt empty and empty again.  Very disappointed.

    He tried hard to control the negative situation and prevent himself from being depressed. It was just a failure. If he lost this time, he would come back next time and it wouldn't be so bad next time.

    The TV station¡¯s camera focused on the crowd and the expressions on the faces of the two candidates.  They all stood closer to the front. At this moment, Hawke was surrounded by people cheering and congratulating him. His wife even hugged him, laughed and shouted in his ear: "Haha, I said we will  The winner, did you see it, more than 370 votes, more than last time."

    Hawke also felt that he had a chance to win. He was smiling, but he couldn't hear Jaxon's voice below. He wanted to know how many votes Wang Lei got, was it 10% or less?  Have you ever swept the opponent?

    "The scene seems to have begun to celebrate. Over there are Hawke's supporters. They think that Hawke has won this election with this number of votes. From what we have, Braddock's vote count in the last election was 379  Zhang and Hawke received 374 votes, which is almost equivalent to all the votes last time." On TV, Peggy explained the situation at the scene.

    "Oh, yes, this vote is almost certain to win. However, viewers, please don't leave in a hurry, because our reporters were at the scene yesterday, and they counted Braddock's most important voting station-Carnegie  The number of voters at the library polling station. A total of about 400 voters went to vote. What does this mean? It means that the number of votes in just one polling station exceeded the last time. With the other three polling stations, the total number this time  The number of votes should be far higher than last time, maybe five hundred or six hundred, but more likely seven hundred or even more than eight hundred! The suspense is here again!"

    David Johnson yelled on TV: "Yes, although we only counted one polling station, one main polling station, Braddock has three more polling stations, and the total number of votes seems to be over 700. Will it be?"  Will it be more than 800? That means Rex still has a chance to be elected."

    Just when other media were focusing their attention on Hawke and the loser Wang Lei, the cable news station's live camera once again focused on Jaxon on the steps.

    "Oh, he seems to be saying something, but we can't hear clearly."

    "Okay, he's going to read it again"

    "Quiet, I want to read it again. Rex King's votes are, 377 votes! Three hundred and seventy-seven votes! Rex was elected mayor of Braddock." Jaxon took two steps forward and said to  shouted loudly to the noisy crowd.

    377 to 374, with a difference of three votes, Wang Lei was finally elected!

    Wang Lei reacted quickly. He and Colin were the first to react. Their eyes met and they immediately showed ecstatic expressions: "Wow, haha, I was elected!"

    ¡°Rex was elected!¡±

    "377 votes, we have three more votes than Hawke!" Colin, who has always been calm and composedI couldn't help but go crazy. Such a result was so surprising that it was enough to make people crazy.

    Hawke was also the first to hear the results. He had been listening carefully. He never thought that he would lose. He just wanted to know how many votes Wang Lei got. Was it 20% or 10%?  Did he sweep his opponents away, just like he had always expected?

    However, he waited for a disastrous result.

    He received 374 votes, a record number, but lost by three votes to his opponent, an eighteen-year-old opponent who had just turned eighteen a month ago.  This is his shame.

    "That's enough!" Hawke suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled his wife aside, where she was jumping up and down, celebrating wildly, and was simply ugly.

    "oh¡ª¡ª"

    "Rex won? How is this possible?" More and more people heard the news, and their first reaction was "How is this possible?"

    Emily, Luca, Douglas, Alvin, Hu Shuying, Wang Jiaming, Brady They were all dumbfounded, and then fell into ecstasy.

    "Rex, we won!" Luka rushed towards Wang Lei, puffed out his chest, and bumped into him hard.

    The next moment, the two people bumped into each other.
