An election ballot is an official list you use to select who you would like to vote for. This initial vote was for nominations. Since there's a little over a hundred residents on this train, the council decided that we wanted to condense that list to concentrate the votes to those most seen as leaders on the train.

In other words, if we listed everyone on the train who got a nomination there would still be forty-nine people on the final ballot. That's simply a lot of people to choose from, so we decided we wanted the top twenty people. By how the numbers went, that meant whoever got at least three nominations and didn't take themselves off the list are on the nomination list.

Does this make sense?

[He listens carefully as Tony explained what an election ballot was. It sounded very complicated but he thought he understood. He nodded.] So we wroted names and that made us go from one hundred to forty nine. So then you looked at all the names and counted and if three people wanted them to be the leader then they went on the election ballot so that's twenty people and then we will say names again from that list until we get... eleven.

[It sounded very complicated. But there were a lot of people and it would be tricky to put them all in one carriage and raise hands.] Um so out of those do we all got to say eleven names?

Yes, exactly. And if you need any help with that at all, you let me know or someone you feel comfortable with. The most important part is that we want to know who you, Romeo, think would do the best job.

Okay! I'll ask for help if I need it. It's a big decision though! When do we got to chose by?

How long do you think you need? If I gave you a few days would that be enough?

Re: video

[myblueskies]

That would be okay sir! I can do it quicker if you want! [He doesn't want to hold people up! He just thinks it needs lots of thinking about.]

[He smiles at the kid.]

No, that's alright. I'm proud of you for taking this so seriously.
