I remember sitting in home room my freshman year of high school. Mr Albert the schools vice principle was talking to us over the schools P.A system. It was homecoming week most everyone participating in school spirit by wearing school colors. Mr Albert who was also the varsity football coach Tells us to be serious in our choice for homecoming king and queen. School rumors and student campaigns had spread and students were organizing and rigging the election.
Jamie Burton was the shoe in as king,
He was dating a girl named Denise. they were A cute couple in their senior year only in this rigged election students were casting votes for Jamie (for king) who was super tall and the schools basketball super star. then because they thought they were funny students weren't voting for Denise to be Queen instead they were voting for Marsha Sharpe a girl not likely to be even nominated for home coming queen. students know it they just think it will be funny to have the king with a girl other than Denise. Mr Albert over the PA told us to be serious voting is a responsibility be responsible.
Marsha Sharpe didn't make home coming Queen but she learned at a young age how elections can be rigged.
Notice I wrote this the day before our 2016 Presidential election.
