[On the first Tuesday of November, at 9 PM, all televisions in Mayfield turn on and go to a news bulletin.]
--This is your evening news, bringing you an update on election day in Mayfield.
At 9 PM on November 3rd, we can report that the polling station has turned in its results. Low turnout seems to have been reported across the town. Remember, citizens: democracy is our most valued institution. If we don't use it, we'll lose it!
--And we're now getting word that the results have been tallied. Congratulations to Mayfield's new mayor, Mayor Milkman, who we can report is being sworn in as we speak.
[Hey, what's that smell in the air? Why, it's the smell of freedom!
Oh, wait. Our bad. It's the smell of smoke, as City Hall has just gone up in flames.]
