The negotiations brokered by the Old Speaker ultimately produced no results and ended in acrimony.
The investigation continued.
"They might demand a revote, and I think... there's a very high chance Congress will agree to hold another vote!"
"There's no way we'll be able to rig the revote, so we might lose!"
After Conner returned to the Campaign Office, he grew somewhat agitated. The Conservative Party Candidate's unwillingness to compromise had made him sense a hint of danger.
Lin Qi had snuffed out every potential problem, but he had no way to control whether a revote would be held.
Even if the York Gang possessed some influence in Congress, it was still only the York Gang!
Congress was still in a state of "chaos." If the Conservative Party put enough on the line, it would certainly be able to buy over quite a few congressmen.
Moreover, a revote didn't require a majority of favorable votes to push through. It only needed more than half of Congress to agree!
This meant they actually wouldn't have to pay too much to force a revote.
It wasn't a good solution!
Everyone was anxious as well. Some people offered various plans and ideas, but their suggestions were either useless or impractical.
Some even thought a revote might allow them to win back the Swing States' votes! Conner committed such an optimistic fool to memory. Clearly, after Conner won the election, he wouldn't receive particularly satisfactory political rewards! Even with a revote, the Swing States would still be unlikely to fall into their hands! The reason was simple: this round of investigation was nothing more than an inconvenience to the capitalists.
Many people were surely wondering how the capitalists knew whether their employees had voted for the candidates they designated, in accordance with their wishes.
