Leaving Dewey's campaign office, Earl went straight back to his hotel in New York.

As soon as she entered the room, Nina greeted her and took off her blazer for Earl.

"Why is it so early today?"

Earl loosened his tie and replied, "I'm tired, come back and rest." ”

Nina Mari hung the suit on the hanger and said with concern: "What, are you not feeling well?"

"Nope. Earl shook his head, took his wife in his arms, and kissed her forehead, "It's mental exhaustion." ”

"You know my body best, and you're the first to know if there's a problem, aren't you?"

Nina carefully observed her husband's face and was relieved after confirming that there was no problem.

"Thank you. ”

The couple was intimate again.

After a while, the two snuggled up to each other and sat on the soft sofa, enjoying this rare leisure moment.

In the past few months, the two have been running around with the campaign team, and they have not been able to rest for a moment.

"You really don't have to go out today?"

"Yes. ”

"Dewey doesn't have an opinion there, does he?"

"No, it won't. "He's got something else to do today, and he doesn't need the kind of presence I have. ”

"Oh. Then I'll make you soup for the evening, and I'll have someone buy an electric cooker. ”

"Electric cooker?"

"That's right, it's the company's product. ”

"It's wasteful, and it's not used a few times. ”

"What is wasted, you can take it back. ”

"That's estimated shipping costs more expensive than the cost itself. ”

"Really...... No matter, let's talk about it then. Nina, who is usually very shrewd, rarely showed a confused side, and Earl smiled comfortably when he saw it.

"By the way, the kids just called. To change the subject, Nina said, "Evan and Virginia asked them if they wanted to come to us. ”

"What are you doing here?" said Earle, not thinking about it. ”

"Well, why don't you come here, if they are elected, they can also attend the celebration banquet! Although Evan does not want to enter politics, it is always good to know more people. Puzzled, Nina looked at Earl's expression and saw that he was relaxed, so she asked, "Honey, are we here to run with him this time?"

"Uh...... Why do you ask?" Earl looked at Nina in surprise, "Is it just because I won't let Evan and them come?"

"It's not just that. Nina further confirmed, "Did I guess right?"

"That's right!" In front of his wife, Earl had nothing to hide: "There is a high probability that we will return to California after the results of the 2nd." ”

Earl only said the conclusion and did not explain further.

"It's ...... Nina wanted to use the word "poor," but she was used to using euphemisms for her husband.

Earl nodded, and said with a little regret: "I had the opportunity to do better, but it's a pity...... Evan reminded a little late. ”

"Evan?" Nina's ears pricked up when she heard her son's name, and asked, "What did Evan remind you of?"

"Did he do something behind our backs?"

"Well, nothing. "He just had people gather some information and find some problems that we hadn't noticed before," Earl said. ”

Earl didn't want to explain too clearly, so he subconsciously played an official tone, causing Nina to pat the back of his hand dissatisfied, "Explain it plainly." ”

This time it didn't hurt, Earl smiled and said, "You know so well what to do. What Evan found had to do with the polls, and it was a technical, scientific problem. ”

"He let us know that we are the real losers, not to look at all the newspapers, magazines and television. ”

"Oh. Nina nodded as if she didn't understand, "But, that's just an investigation......, isn't it?

"I believe in myself...... And Evan's judgment. Earl said, "Science is science because it is objective." ”

"Throwing in the towel at this point and admitting defeat again when the result comes out, it's no different to me. ”

"Of course, you can listen to this, but don't shout at it, especially not with Evan. ”

If there is a miracle, it will be Evan who is either human inside and out, and Earl doesn't want such an oolong.

"Don't worry, am I the kind of person with a big mouth?"

……

While the Warrens were enjoying their busy and busy world, that night, Republican candidate John Dewey secretly came to a club that was not open to the public.

Here, Dewey met with many people.

These people are either rich or rich.

They are supporters of the Republican Party, financiers.

Here, Dewey will make deals with some people.

Since there was no hope of victory, Dewey needed to prepare a way out.

……

Time flies, and the quadrennial election day has arrived.

The U.S. election is held on the second day of the first Monday in November, and this year on November 2.

The U.S. is a vast country, spanning four time zones from east to west, plus Hawaii and Alaska, for a total of six time zones. The first region to start voting was New Hampshire, and the latest was Alaska.

The day of the election is a working day, but most companies give voters a fake to go to the polls.

That morning (PST), Evan also went to the polling station with the people in the lab.

Queue up, fill out the ballot, and solemnly put the ballot in the ballot box.

There were many people holding signs around the polling places, and the candidates from both sides had their supporters.

Evan was the first to vote, so he could only wait outside for others to come and meet.

The next one to come out is Leiden.

"It seems that this year's turnout is a little better than last year. Layton and Evan stood side by side, looking at the voting site, speechless.

"Really?" Evan was noncommittal, and it was not surprising that Evan was too old to understand in the last election.

"There are more people this year. Leiden has voted in several elections, and of course has more experience than Evan: "Then again, Evan, why didn't you go to Washington?"

Among these people in the laboratory, Layton knew Evan's identity.

Evan asked rhetorically, "Why do you want to go?"

"If you win, it's not too late to go to the White House next year. ”

"If you don't win, there's no need to go, isn't it?"

This is a valid reason, but it is not the truth. Of course, the real reason, Evan will not say.

Layton nodded: "That's right." ”

The voting was over, and the counting of votes began in an orderly manner. People who care about current affairs and politics stay in front of the radio and wait for the results to be announced.

The first to come out was the Eastern States, which were Republican territory, and Dewey unsurprisingly came first.

This was followed by the Central, and the Democrats quickly caught up.

The preliminary results were announced at 10 p.m. (EST) and the results were "unexpected" and the winner was Truman. He won in Ohio, Illinois, and Earl's California by less than 1 percent.

At seven o'clock (EST) before the results were fully out, Evan made a phone call to the hotel where Earl was staying.

"Father, it looks like you're going to lose. ”

"I know. ”

"Do you feel sorry?"

"No, it's a rare experience, and I can come back in four years. ”
