Chapter 2340

"Lynch, stay here, I have something to tell you."

Before the end of the evening, Connor left Lynch alone, and the others left silently without even taking a second look.

After everyone left, Lynch sat opposite Connor.

Connor, on the other hand, looked out the window at the scenery.

"I'm worried, we've done well enough, but..."

The scowl on his face was like used paper in the wastebasket in the toilet.

The votes in the swing states failed to form an advantage, which greatly changed the outcome.

Although judging from the current situation, he still has a chance to win the election, but this is only "possible", not "inevitable".

If this is just an ordinary game, if you lose, you lose, and you can start the next round of the game soon.

It's a fucking presidential race, if you lose, you don't stand a chance.

Before Connor decided to run for office, he didn't really care about these things, but after Gladstone dragged him into the campaign, whether he could win or not became extremely important.

What he paid during the campaign was not only the favors of Gladstone, but also the campaign funds of the capitalists, as well as his own favors and resources that he bet on.

Losing this time will be the worst "accident" in his political career.

In fact, for elections, the pain suffered by the losers is always infinite, but no one will notice it after the election.

Connor doesn't want to lose, he wants to win.

He slowly turned his head to look at Lynch, "Lynch, I know you are a capable person, if possible, can we...can do some technical work on these ballots that have not yet reached Bu Paine. Work?"

"Technical work?" Lynch repeated, knowing what Connor meant.

Connor also knew that Lynch knew what he meant.

Sometimes there are things that can be done but not said.

But there are also times when certain things must be said before they are done!

If Connor doesn't make it clear what he wants Lynch to do, in case of any accident, he can use "he misunderstood me" as an excuse to shirk responsibility completely.

But if he did say what he wanted in detail, it would be hard for him to deny it.

Sometimes during the trial of a case against a big man, some people at the bottom have a very strange idea-why are these people unwilling to lie?
For example, they can completely deny the things they have done and the mistakes they have made.

Why don't they lie and have lawyers pick and choose words around some truth?

Of course, not everyone doesn't lie, but the truth still accounts for the majority!

It must be reiterated here that it is only limited to the upper echelons of society.

In fact, it is not that they are unwilling to lie, but that lying is meaningless.

For example, if one day Lynch has to stand in the dock for trial, what's the point of him lying?

It's meaningless for a long time, but it's better to tell the truth, maybe you can get some extra points!

When the big shots really stand in the dock, what they say is actually not that important to the result.

Connor looked at Lynch, and the two looked at each other calmly. After a while, Connor lowered his voice, "Those ballot boxes..."

"We have to do something!"

Lynch didn't speak, but continued to look at him. Connor hesitated for a while, and his voice became lower.

"For a few boxes, we must ensure that I can win the election. As long as I can win the election, even if something happens, I will give an amnesty."

Amnesty is the prerogative of the federal president. Although the latter president can overturn these amnesties, considering the current political atmosphere of the federation, it is unlikely!
After all, to be serious, so far, the federal president has not had a clean butt, including Mr. Truman.

Mr. Truman used his power to forcibly promote the legislation of many policies. It stands to reason that Congress should overturn these policies and regulations, but they did not.

Politicians attach great importance to the concept of "fait accompli". They don't want some important decisions of their own to be overturned by latecomers one day.

So Connor is sure that something really happened, and he can settle these problems.

He spoke very fruitfully, and the more he spoke, the smoother he said, "I heard that the university will last for several days, and you have at least three days to deal with this matter."

"And I believe you know how to do it."

Lynch nodded, "You mean you want me to exchange some of the Conservative Party votes in the ballot box for yours, right?"

Connor rolled his eyes, "You don't need to be so clear, we all know what's going on."

Lynch nodded again, "No problem, wait for my good news."

The two continued to look at each other for a few seconds, Connor looked away, got up and said goodbye, "Then I'll wait for your good news!"

The two left the room together, and then Lynch got into his car.

He didn't go back to the villa area in the middle of the mountain, but went to the villa in the suburbs, and then called the director general.

About half an hour later, the director general arrived here wearing a windbreaker.

"Help me check a few things."

"One, find out which states have extra polling places that aren't being used."

"Second, check which company made this year's ballot cards and whether they have any in stock."

"Third, I want full details of the ballot box shipment packing."

The Director General looked at Lynch and obviously realized what Lynch was going to do. He frowned and looked at him, "Is the chance of winning small?"

He said with some disbelief, "I read from the media that Connor's current situation is very good, with a lead of 60 million votes, which is almost worth the votes of an entire state!"

Federal voters must be "legitimate voters", have a job, actively pay taxes, have no criminal record, and are willing to register as federal citizens to be eligible to become real voters.

Each state has more or less voters, not exactly the same number.

For example, some states have a small population and don't care much about elections. Such states have only more than 30 voters.

In the state where Bu Paine is located, there are many people who care about the election. At the same time, due to social environment and other reasons, there are more than 100 million voters.

Currently, there are more than 700 million registered voters in the Federation, but not all voters will vote.

For example, when they think that the three candidates are dog bastards, they will not go to the polling station to vote, or simply abstain from voting with a cup of hot coffee.

So the actual valid votes are only 1000 million to 200 million.

On the surface, Connor is doing pretty well, after all, he is ahead by so much!

Lynch shook his head, "The votes in the north have not been counted yet, he is very dangerous."

"In this election, the swing states were not able to win, and even gave the Conservative Party a lot of votes, which will be very troublesome."

"To make sure Connor wins, we have to do something outside the box."

The director general also knows what it means if Connor loses the election.

On the one hand, he will continue to be in charge of the largest comprehensive violent agency in the Federation for eight years, and on the other hand, he will resign from the FBI, completely hand over the power in his hand, and then disappear one day in the future.

The director general didn't need to think too long before he made a decision.

"When?"

"The sooner the better!"

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the Director-General asked his nephew to bring Lynch a file bag, which contained all the documents Lynch needed.

And Lynch made a phone call to Connor and asked him if he really needed to do this!

Connor gave him a definite answer, and then Lynch began to arrange.

The box used to hold the ballot is completely sealed and is attached to the polling gate of the polling station.

Once the ballots enter the ballot box, they will not be opened until they reach Congress.

At the same time, the sealed structure of the ballot box will not cause the ballots inside it to be poured out. If you want to get the ballots inside, you must destroy the ballot box.

Once the ballot box is destroyed, there must be a fraud, and the result of the entire state will not be adopted, but a re-vote will be carried out.

Because ballot boxes are difficult to make and they are not usually used, so many ballot boxes are made every time, together with the polling stations.

The price of each polling station is 2 yuan. The polling station will be thrown away when it is used up, and the ballot box will be sent away.

Lynch's plan is to replace some of the ballot boxes in the three states, so that Connor will lose to the Conservative Party candidate by a very narrow margin, and even tie with him in the three states!
In this way, Connor can easily win, after all, he is now hundreds of thousands of votes ahead of the White Hand candidate!

Giving Connor a majority in the Conservative Party is clearly unlikely, as long as his disadvantage is not that great.

The polling stations and ballot boxes are not a big problem. Now that the voting period is over, the unused polling stations and ballot boxes are regrouped and stacked in warehouses.

Let the people under Noel do this matter, and there is no strict monitoring or guarding in these warehouses. After all, it is useless to steal this thing.

The ballot card was handed over to Fern. According to the information given to Lynch by the director general, the idea of ​​allowing overseas voters to vote this time was only developed near the end of the year.

At this time, it is not that it is too late to reprint the ballot card, but it is too late in terms of design.

The people responsible for the implementation of the federation are very efficient, and the efficiency of those decision-makers who decide what to do is very low.

Sometimes they may have to hold meetings for two years to consider the name under which a policy should be implemented.

Not to mention that the design of ballot cards for overseas voters is no small matter.

Both Congress and the federal government believe that there should be many people voting in overseas polling stations, but in fact overseas voters are not enthusiastic.

For example, in Nagaril, people there don't care much about voting for the federal president, which also leads to a lot more ballot cards in Nagaril.

These ballot cards, if not used, will be destroyed, and now, they obviously have a use.

At the same time, after the ballot card is stolen, it will be filled in locally, and then the ballot box will be sent directly there.

After about two days, the packaged ballot boxes will arrive in the north, and Lynch has an extra day to replace these ballot boxes!
