Just wait until the first day when the anime club ends its meeting at 5:00 and the kids find out all the buses are gone and they have to call their parents to come and pick them up.
I sense there’s something wrong with this scene. I hope there is a serious recount. Trevor strikes me as a kid who’s learned he can stop at nothing to get what he wants. And he’s too young to lose sleep over it.
Trevor cheated, it is pretty obvious the kid went Mayor Daley circa late ’50s and stuffed the ballot box. Not the most creative tool in the box but if Char was not there to stick up for Dean, he would have got away with it.. Moral to this story, this is why we have people who observe elections and report any oddities.
Decades ago, Philadelphia Magazine did a “Best of Philly/Worst of Philly” contest annually based on reader’s votes for restaurants, entertainment, services, etc. One particular Chinese restaurant in Philly Chinatown swept the voting for “Best” one year, which surprised a lot of folks. (The restaurant was small and while good, was known at the time for a surly staff that would push you to eat quickly and get out so that they could bring in more customers). Then the editorial staff noticed that the reviews from “Marcus, the construction worker from the Kensington neighborhood,” “Susan, the teacher from South Jersey,” “David, the doctor at Penn,” etc. – were all VERY similar and were written in the same rather broken English. This applied to most of the votes for “Best” that the place got. It became obvious that the restaurant itself stuffed the ballot box although the magazine couldn’t prove it. However, they did a pointed article about the “coincidental” similarity in reviews which basically made the accusation while avoiding liability.
The next year, this place was cheekily voted the WORST, with the following snark: “Eat your food and out the door, so we can serve 200 more.” Both “worst” and reader voting were dropped not long afterward. The restaurant is still around and gets mixed reviews. “Best of Philly” is now determined by the magazine.

I’m thinking the recount shows more ballots cast than Anime club member.

Did no one else want to run for anime club president? Both candidates seem like duds now.
