Chapter 30 Day

ps: The previous chapter has finally been reviewed and approved. Remember to read it. This is the second update, please vote!

—————————————————————

Writing articles, editing newspapers, taking the streets to speak, visiting voters, volunteering, and working on face-to-face websites, Wang Lei is busy every day. In order to dispel everyone's doubts about his age, Wang Lei specially asked Rachel to find a videotape of "The Lone Star Boy" and then pay for it to play it in the activity room on the second floor of the library.

Although not many people have watched it, the news has been passed on the "face to face to face network" and "Bradock Man", especially "face to face". After the number of registered people exceeded 1,000, it has become the most lively place in Bradock.

On this day, Wang Lei woke up in the morning and unexpectedly found that Hu Shuying and Wang Jiaming were already waiting for him in the living room. It seemed that something important was happening.

"Rex, wear this outfit today, he will bring you good luck!" Hu Shuying smiled and picked up a brand new top from the coffee table, which contained a suit and a pair of shiny cowhide shoes.

Hu Shuying took the clothes and put them on Wang Lei and looked at them: "Well, they look quite fit."

Wang Lei was stunned. He remembered the clothes. About two months ago, their family went to Pittsburgh and saw this set of clothes at the clothing store there. He originally planned to buy them back and wore them during the coming-of-age ceremony, but later he decided to participate in the election and saved the money. He didn't buy them. Unexpectedly, the set of clothes appeared in front of him again.

"Uh, dad, mom, thank you, but..." Wang Lei wanted to say something, and then suddenly realized that today was Saturday, and the day of voting, and the voters of the town would vote today to decide who would become the mayor of Braddock.

"Ah, I'm going to vote today? I really didn't know it!" Wang Lei waved his hand and suddenly wanted to lie on the sofa. These days were the most tiring of his life in 18 years, but he immediately realized that the vote was not over yet and the result was not out. Now it's not time to rest, he still has to seize the last time and sprint.

Usually, the polling station will officially open at 6 a.m. and then close at 6 p.m. Election Commission staff will count the votes overnight and then announce the results at 9 a.m. the next day.

Wang Lei got up at five o'clock. He got up very early these days, but there was not much time left for him. He hurried to the stadium. He came first, followed by Colin, Alvin, Douglas, Emily and others, and finally Luca.

"Colin, why don't you remember that today is voting day, and your calculator also made mistakes?" As soon as you saw Colin, Wang Lei joked about him. Everyone forgot that today is voting day, and their strings were too tight. They only knew that voting Saturday on August 11th, but they were so nervous that voting day had arrived.

"Haha, it would be great if the voters who support Hawke forget that they were voting today!" Luca always likes to twist his big ass rhythmically when he speaks.

"You guys say, how about we make a banner on the road? It says: There are still three days before voting for Hawke Spencer. Will there be many people coming back in three days?" Everyone jogged around the stadium. Wang Yang rolled his eyes and came up with a bad idea.

"Haha, this is a really good idea." Everyone laughed, only Colin shook his head: "No, it's illegal."

"Rex, don't worry, you will definitely be elected." Emily ran next to Wang Lei, turning her head to look at him from time to time, worried that he would feel nervous because Emily herself was very nervous.

Wang Lei turned his head and gave Emily a bright smile: "Of course, I will be elected."

In fact, Wang Lei was not sure that he could be elected, and he didn't even dare to think about the result. In addition to his age and qualifications, as a Chinese, he would face greater difficulties. The United States is a multi-ethnic immigrant country, and racial integration is pretty good, but various invisible discrimination still exists. For example, Asians, especially Chinese, participate in politics, will always be very surprised.

Of course, he also has the opportunity. Among Braddock's population, only 40% are white people, and the other 40% are African-American blacks, Latinos and Asians each account for about 10%. Although Asians are an absolute minority, the proportion of ethnic minorities in the population is greater than that of whites. In addition, their family has long integrated into Braddock and has a good popularity, which makes his ethnic disadvantages not so obvious.

After returning from the sports field, Wang Lei carefully cleaned up his appearance with the help of Hu Shuying, put on the navy blue suit and white shirt, and gave himself a leader, which looked even more grand than the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

Then, their family walked to the polling station located in the library. In order to facilitate voters to vote, the town set up a total of four polling stations today. Voters can collect votes and vote at any polling station, but they cannot vote repeatedly.

The Carnegie Library is the main voting site. In each election, about half of the voters will vote here. So when Wang Lei and his family came less than a hundred meters away from the library, they saw Hawk's electoral staff. Hawk himself stood more than ten meters away from the library gate, smiling and greeting the voters who came earlier.

According to Pennsylvania's law, candidates can also enter the polling station to vote and conduct election campaigns outside the polling station. However, any person or activity who assists in the election must be 40 feet away from the polling station and cannot carry any items with campaign slogans and signs into the polling station, nor can they use impolite language and physical collisions to harass voters.

Emily, Colin and the others were also launching election support activities at several other polling stations.

"Hi, Rex, no matter what the result is, I hope your community revitalization plan can continue." Hawke looked at Wang Lei and greeted him with a graceful look.

Wang Lei also shook hands with Hawke with a smile: "Mr. Spencer, no matter what the result is, I hope you can continue to love Braddock and support Braddock."

"That's certain, we should work together to make Braddock's tomorrow better." Hawke said loudly, so that those around him could also hear his voice, see his magnanimity, and love for Braddock.

But he did not realize that he had put Wang Lei at the same position as him when he did so.

What surprised Wang Lei was that several media also sent reporters to the scene early, including reporters and cameramen from the News Channel and KDK TV Station. Rachel grinned and greeted Wang Lei with a smile: "Hi, Rex, are you confident of being elected today?"

Wang Lei quickly pulled out his clothes. Rachel was not alone. She also had a camera next to her. After working for this period, she had successfully gained the trust of the station and won the opportunity to report on this election.

"Of course, I think the residents of Braddock will make the right choice because I can build a better Braddock with them." Wang Lei said with a smile, acting very steadily.

Although they were familiar with each other, Rachel put the microphone in front of Wang Lei, but did not let him go: "But, based on the survey of voters who were just preparing to vote, most of them are not optimistic about you and think that Hawk will be elected."

"Oh, maybe my supporters are all modest, right? You will vote for me, right?" Wang Lei smiled and greeted the residents of the town who were watching.

When they saw the TV reporter interviewing, they were all watching. When they heard Wang Lei's words, they immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, Rex, you're really not modest."

"Yes, I'll vote for you."

"Oh, Rex, you're wrong, I'll just vote for myself."

In this month, Wang Lei visited almost every family in the town, with a total of 100 households. He had contacted some people more than once. Every time he would record their names, characteristics, political views, problems and expectations, etc.

"Brooke, I'm just telling the truth."

"Marquis, thank you for your support. I will not let you down."

"Brickit, I think you are my biggest opponent, but why is your name not on the vote?"

Wang Lei greeted them with a smile. He could even call out each of their names. Brooke, Marquis and Bridget were slightly stunned. They were not familiar with Wang Lei. Before Wang Lei ran for election, they didn't even know Wang Lei, nor did they think Wang Lei knew them before.

This guy seems to be quite powerful! They thought of it at the same time.
