Regarding the procedure of the U.S. presidential election.
Votes are cast in November, then the results are gradually revealed.
But this can't really be considered the final result.
Because there will be an electoral vote in mid-December.
However, this is merely a formality because in the United States the winner takes all.
In fact, the electoral votes are actually comprised of the members of Congress — both Senators and House Representatives.
There are 100 Senators and 438 Representatives.
Altogether, that's 538 electoral votes.
So, whichever party wins a state, everyone just compares the electoral votes in the end, and that's it.
But if we delve into the details, it's actually quite simple.
No matter if it's Longface or Xiaobu, as long as you capture some of the swing states among the 50 states, that's enough.
Swing states are truly the key.
Here's what really happens.
There's that Electoral College vote, right?
According to what was said earlier, it seems like these 538 electors — the Congress members — come together to vote.
But, as long as the counting shows a state won, then all the votes from that state go to that candidate.
For example, Nevada only has 5 electoral votes.
So, as long as three people vote for Xiaobu, the other two votes are also his.
This is what is called winner-takes-all.
And this winner-takes-all is the formal vote in mid-December.
But the result of this vote is actually already understood prior.
It's through the preliminary voting which party won how many states.
Win more states, you win.
Therefore, how many votes a state has is not that impressive.
Just like California, although it has 55 electoral votes (two senators, 53 representatives), it seems like a huge vote bank.
Yet similarly, the Republican Party also has such a stronghold.
That's Texas.
Texas has 38 votes.
Even if there's a gap, as long as you win more states, that's enough.
And so, it comes back to that crucial point again.
Swing states.
You could understand that the parties' traditional strongholds and their support bases are actually quite similar in votes.
And only by taking the swing states can you truly win.
Smart people can probably see through the U.S. election with one glance.
The real key point, the most intense fight.
Is those few swing states.
It seems like we're going in circles, coming back to this.
But honestly, the U.S. election is really not easy to understand.
Even most American voters have only a vague idea, some even vote as if they're rolling dice.
This isn't some kind of performance art.
This is actually happening in reality.
There are even more unorthodox ways to vote.
And this is what's praised by so many people as the U.S. election, not knowing how many imitators have worshipped this mode to the extreme.
Let's not talk about them anymore.
And now, the results are coming out!
On the 4th, the most crucial swing state.
Ohio's results have finally come out.
This is a state that both parties fight hard for as it has 20 electoral votes.
And Xiaobu here... has managed to win it!
Kerry is instantly doomed.
Because after winning this state, Xiaobu's electoral votes surpass 272.
Directly over half.
Which means the real official vote in December is already not that significant.
Xiaobu can already declare himself the winner.
Of course, he is doing just that.
And such results indeed have significant impacts.
...
San Francisco.
"Why did we lose? This can't be possible!"
"Why!? F*ck!"
"Why! Why!"
The Saint Master of the Descent Sect locked himself inside his most mysterious room.
And kept cursing the void.
At this moment, he didn't need any Devil to descend, he already looked very much like the Devil himself.
Hysterical, completely mad.
He would even find something to tear or bite.
In such a state, locking himself up seemed right.
Saint Master Bishop, he never expected this.
The Democratic Party actually lost!
They had originally bet on the Democratic Party because before this election, Xiaobu's side was simply not even watchable.
Xiaobu was really scolded horribly, this guy was almost good for nothing.
But later... in fact, most Americans didn't see it coming.
That Longface would even blatantly fabricate facts.
In the debate, Longface was really such a failure.
Xiaobu was just... watching Longface stab himself!
So maybe Xiaobu's IQ isn't that high, but his luck is indeed quite good.
But, the more this is the case, doesn't it just highlight Bishop's incompetence?
That's right!
With this election result, one thing is certain.
You, Bishop, are not as good as that Kobrand over there!
Actually, neither of them are legitimate clergy.
The Pope of Rome would definitely not be kind to these two guys.
They are outright con artists.
Bishop is a bit more mysterious, while Kobrand is notorious.
But the two parties in the United States still choose these kinds of evil clergy to assist.
This in itself says a lot.
So, whether it's deception or holy, these don't matter.
The key is that you, Bishop, are inferior to Kobrand!
This is most important.
So, what now?
Bishop, scratching his head, thought of a matter.
"There's that guy! I want that guy dead!"
Then, he directly mobilized the followers.
"I sensed it! The Devil has descended!"
Upon saying this, the followers turned dumb instantly.
Is it already the end of the world so soon?
But they heard Bishop continue to say, "But don't be afraid, this time it's just an advance party, not very powerful! We must destroy him before he gets stronger!"
Indeed, that's how it should be!
The followers, of course, believed it.
And quickly enough, Bishop took out a photo.
"It's this guy! He's possessed by the Devil..."
In that photo, it was Fulton!
...
From their cult's logic.
The one possessed by the Devil is Fulton!
Because it was this guy who sued Purdue Pharmaceutical!
If he hadn't done this, surely the Democratic Party would have won!
However, Bishop has already convinced himself of this.
Of course, he wants to kill Fulton.
It's just that this task might not be so easy to execute right away.
They have to send someone, or whatever the plan is.
And compared to Saint Master Bishop, Zhou Mo Sen is rather calm and at ease.
Especially after the election results came out.
There was a young lady who couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Zhou, you're really awesome! You know, many people within the Republican Party didn't think it could be him... You..."
Ariana, now in her eyes, there were little stars.
All admiration!
Zhou Mo Sen looked at the girl's change and felt extremely pleased.
He was even considering if this wealthy heiress might voluntarily come over and tear open her shirt for him... Ahem, this thought should probably be avoided.
I, Zhou Mo Sen, am a decent doctor, not some pervert.
And so, Zhou Mo Sen just kept up with the act... acting refined, acting tasteful.
Anyway, the more he acted, the more satisfied he was.
And Ariana was representing the Rockefeller Clan, now her attitude towards Zhou Mo Sen was even more about drawing him in.
Which means that, just as Zhou Mo Sen expected.
His value has exploded in terms of increase!
And now, the two of them go out for a meal, then in a high-class restaurant in Los Angeles, there's naturally no problem with that.
Yet sometimes, issues arise quite unexpectedly.
"Dr. Zhou, why are you here?"
Look, here comes trouble.
Also a wealthy heiress, Ivan Mc came over, swaying step by step.
Those two great... eh, she practically overwhelmed Ariana in presence...
