Once upon a time, after the lad-wolf incident, Save The Wolf Foundation got a few votes too many in a low turnout election (except for all the dead people who miraculously voted) for seats on the town council. As the new majority they immediately demanded that a statue be set up to honor the big bad wolf who was brutally, but deliciously, barbequed.
This plan didn’t fly well with the majority of the (living) town folk – like maybe 100% of them – who now regretted not voting because they figured no one in his right mind would vote for Save The Wolf (as indeed no one in his right mind did). Threatened to be ousted in the next election – which would be watched like a hawk – Save The Wolf compromised enough to permit the town council to commission a statue of the lad with the big bad wolf chewing his leg.
After the statue was erected the town became a notorious tourist attraction drawing visitors from far and wide who wanted to see the statue that no one in his right mind would have erected. Anyone who could find a way to profit from this unexpected popularity by delaying the tourists’ stay with some lucrative lad-wolf amusement lived happily ever after.

Thus the Biblical admonitions to pray for our leaders. While it may not address voting directly, I think those admonitions also extend to praying before voting and working to elect good leaders.

well, like they say, ‘You can never lose money betting on the gullibility of the masses.’
(nice work with a ‘Serial Six’ a sub-genre here in Sixville that is as enjoyable to read as it is challenging to write)

It is a wonderful sub-genre. In your tales I wonder what Rosetta in going to do to Ethan next. You can always count on the gullibility of the masses for a happily ever after ending. Blessings, Clark!
