DC New Krypton

The Capitol Square was crowded with people, and the hot sun heated up the mood of the people holding small flags underneath.

It was not because of impatience, but because of the repeated electoral jumps that had occurred before, they felt that the situation was extremely unusual, and they were very worried that Hall might not be able to successfully run for president.

It was densely packed with people, and the flags with the image of Haer were constantly waving, and the figures of thin and buzzing discussions never stopped.

They all discuss the capriciousness of electors and express the anomalies of this presidential election.

Although the buzzing sound was small, in the huge sea of ​​people, it gathered into a tsunami-like buzz of discussion.

"what is that?"

Suddenly, someone in the sea of ​​people looked up and looked at the sky, which was so hot that it distorted the air, and saw a small manta ray spacecraft flying from a distance. Its smooth and black armor displayed the technology of the future.

Everyone in the sea of ​​​​people gradually looked up and saw the manta ray spacecraft flying directly above their heads.

Haile appeared in the tractor beam under the manta ray spacecraft, and slowly descended from the sky under the tug of the tractor beam.

"Mr. Hale!

! "

The crowd suddenly erupted in exclamations, looking at Haer with admiration as he landed like a god.

Hal stepped on the ground and gestured to the crowd with a smile. The crowd automatically gave way to a avenue leading to the entrance of the Capitol.

"Mr. Hale, come on."

"Our whole family supports you, Mr. Hale."

"You must be president. I support you, Mr. Hale."

"Damn those repetitive politicians. Even if Mr. Hale didn't become president, I won't let them go."

Concerned voices rose and fell among the crowd.

There was no way not to worry. Just the night before, dozens of electors had openly supported Hale. However, starting yesterday, they began to vigorously disapprove of Hale. Dozens of electors suddenly skipped their votes, which was scary. The people became very worried and spontaneously gathered a huge sea of ​​people, waiting for first-hand news at the Capitol.

In fact, the electors are not "instrumental people" elected by ordinary people. Most of them are because after the popular election results come out, there is no suspense about the presidential candidate. The final official vote of the electors is actually just a formality.

If that were the case, there would be no doubt that Hal would be president.

But not all electors will vote obediently according to the rules. In history, there have been more than 100 "renegade" electors, also called "disloyal electors". They did not abide by the results of the state's people's vote, but followed their personal wishes. Voted.

This time, there are more dishonest electors than in all previous elections combined. The public has begun to suspect that the entire Congress is targeting Hall.

This time, it was too weird for them, and the electors jumping around repeatedly were too thrilling.

"What is that?" There was a child, held high by his father and sitting on his shoulders. His two little hands were waving a small flag with Hall's head on it, pointing at the manta ray spacecraft hovering in the sky, his eyes shining brightly. asked crisply.

Haile walked towards the Capitol. When he heard the clear voice of the child, he smiled slightly and said as he walked: "That is a spaceship that sets foot in the starry sky. It is the future of mankind."

After Haier finished speaking, the small manta ray spacecraft turned around and flew far into the sky, quickly turning into a point, arousing the amazement and excitement of the crowd around it.

Now news reporters and live TV hosts from all over the place are constantly praising the spaceship and Hale.

Finally, Haile waved his hands to everyone in front of the Capitol, then walked into the Capitol and entered the spacious meeting hall.

Haile glanced slightly, and many sober electors cast anxious glances, as well as many electors controlled by Loki's mind, showing expressions of indifference, disgust and ridicule.

They may have had no objection to Hal before, but under Loki's first order of mind control, they had no choice but to target Hal first in everything.

Regarding Hare, among the instincts of these congressmen and electors controlled by Loki's mind, it is almost the instinct to eat, breathe and sleep.

The buzz of discussion in the conference hall kept rising.

Hal glanced around the venue. A sober congressman led Hal to the presidential candidate's seat, and asked quietly and hesitantly: "Mr. Hal, will we win?"

The sober congressman hesitated a little, his eyes flickering.

Haer smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I will win."

The sober congressman breathed a sigh of relief, his face no longer hesitated, his eyes no longer flickered, and he returned to his seat and sat down.

Haile sat down in the candidate's seat for the General Logistics Committee. Evans, who was next to him, was already sitting in his seat. He looked at Haile and smiled slightly.

"Silence! The electoral vote begins now."

After a routine head count, the President of the Senate banged his hammer and formally announced the electoral vote:

"The presidential vote of the Electoral College vote is now underway! Electors are asked to cast their votes for the president one by one."

The entire conference hall immediately began to enter the voting process.

This presidential vote is different from the past.

In the past, voting was done in the morning and the results were known in the afternoon.

To be honest, if you want to do it, you can still do it. This method of only releasing the results in the afternoon is not recognized by all the electors and congressmen on the Haier side.

They worked hard and required that the votes be read immediately after the vote, without any delay, under strict supervision from all parties, and live broadcast to the whole country in the chamber to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the votes.

This presidential election is really too thrilling for them, and they have to be cautious. If they are not careful, the position of president, the country's most powerful weapon, is taken by an alien, and that will be the end of the entire country.

All the sober congressmen and electors were nervous, some could not help but tremble slightly, their palms became sweaty, and they kept looking at the sober congressmen and electors.

They, the sober electors, of course know how many people are sober.

There are a total of 538 votes in all the Electoral College. The presidential candidate who gets more than half of the votes first, which is 270 votes, wins the presidential election.

However, unfortunately, the votes of sober members were only one-third, which is about 170 votes, not even 200 votes.

They gritted their teeth and could only hope that the power group behind Hale or SHIELD would work hard again to grab a few more votes so that Hale could safely become the president.

Otherwise, if an alien becomes president, it will be a huge scandal for the entire earth and country.

They looked at Haile nervously, and saw Haile sitting on the seat of the presidential candidate waiting for the votes to be counted, waiting calmly, and their inner nervousness relaxed a lot.

If Haier is so calm, then he must be confident.
