^Jamming to this song while writing^

After six months of campaigning and chaos, the day finally came. Election day. Everything that they had worked for came down to this. There were four parties running. POG2020 and SWAG2020, of course, and also COCONUT2020 and SCHLATT2020. COCONUT consisted of Fundy as the presidential candidate and Niki as the vice president. And SCHLATT was, well, Schlatt. The american had shown up in L'Manburg randomly about a week before the election and announced that he was running for president. Now he was his own party, running without a runningmate. 

On the day of the election, it was one of the busiest days that anyone could remember since the war. Everyone was excited to see the outcome, and a TON of people voted. It took three days for Nessa and Wilbur to count the votes. When the results were finally in, they called a meeting of everyone in L'Manburg. 

As the two stood on top of the Hto Dog Van, they looked out on all the citizens. Once everyone had gathered, Wilbur started. "Helllo, citizens of L'Manburg. We're here today so that you can hear the results of the election. 

"In fourth place, having unsuccessfully committed voter fraud, (Yes, we know about the voter fraud) is COCONUT2020." Fundy crossed his arms and scowled as Wilbur went on. "In third place is SCHLATT2020, with 16% of the votes. Then SWAG2020, with 30%. Which means that POG2020 got the most votes, with 45%!" 

All the supporters of the winning party cheered, but Wilbur silenced them. "However, that isn"t the result of the election. SCHLATT2020 and SWAG2020 struck a deal before election day. SWAG agreed to pool their votes with SCHLATT. Which means that with 46% of the votes, 1% more than POG2020, SCHLATT2020 is the winner of the L'Manburg election." 

This caused an uproar as the crowd started to shout, some glad and some upset. Schlatt grinned and walked up to take Wilbur's place. Looking defeated, Wilbur and Nessa stepped down to join everyone else. Schlatt stepped up on to the Hto Dog Van and smiled. "These next few years are going to be a great time for L'Manburg." he said, looking out at the crowd.
