"How do you know? Are you in Las Vegas, too?"

Li Rui asked in surprise. In his impression, Stamp did not look like a person who would like Las Vegas. Instead, the Pennsylvania Congressman who was obviously overly drunk and sexy last time was more suitable here.

"I just accompanied Frank off the plane and he will hold a canvassing party tomorrow in Las Vegas. If you have time, come and have a drink."

Li Rui suddenly realized.

Nevada, where Las Vegas is located, is one of the nine important swing states in this magnesium election, which is the so-called place for military strategists. As an important figure in the Donkey Party, it is natural for Frank to come to Nevada to build momentum for the election.

The election will kick off on the first Tuesday of November, which is November 6. At that time, all magnesium voters will go to local voting sites to vote to elect 538 electorates from 50 states and capital Washington.

The elector here does not refer to a certain person, but an abstract concept, which is actually an electoral vote.

The electoral votes are the sum of the number of senators and members of the House of Representatives that each state has. According to the law of the country, each state has two senators, and the number of senators is calculated based on the population ratio.

For example, California, the most populous, has two senators and fifty-three members of the House of Representatives, which means there are 55 electoral votes in California.

Wyoming, which has the smallest population in the entire country, only has three electoral votes.

Since except for Maine and Nebraska, electoral votes are allocated according to the proportion of popular votes, other states and Washington vote according to the "winner-take-all" method, that is, as long as the presidential candidate wins universal suffrage in a certain state, he can get all electoral votes in the state.

Candidates who have won more than half of the electoral votes, that is, at least 270 votes, will take office as the new president on January 20 next year.

The Donkey Party and the Elephant Party have their own fixed support states, so there is no need to worry about votes. The key to their competition lies in those swing states that are swaying and don’t know who they will vote for. Nevada is such a place.

Li Rui has also seen election activities on the streets of Las Vegas these days, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, he had known the result a long time ago.

What Li Rui really cares about is whether Lao Tang can represent the elephant party as he did in his previous life.

But he didn't mind maintaining a good relationship with the donkey party before this.

Especially Frank and Frank's wife.

"I'm going to meet a friend." Li Rui returned to the room and said to Dalula.

Although the scenery makes people nostalgic, Li Rui could only bear the pain of giving up and seeing Frank.

Compared to his children's love or someone else's ex-wife, Li Rui attaches more importance to the "friendship" in the next four years.

Dalula stood up and said, "I will attend the lecture in the afternoon, I need to prepare for it."

"Wait..." Li Rui hesitated and said, "You go with me."

"Hmm?" Dalula said in surprise, "Do I know the person you want to meet?"

Li Rui kept it a secret and said, "Maybe I don't know you now, but you will definitely have to deal with them a lot in the future. And I believe you won't hate them too much."

On the way to the Frank Hotel, Li Rui asked Talula: "Although you are not from Magnesium, I would like to ask you a question. Who do you want to be elected as the next president?"

"Of course it's Housse." Dalula said clearly, "Whether as an investor or as an actor, I like the donkey party more."

This answer is not beyond Li Rui's expectations. The donkey party has always been widely supported along the east and west coasts of the Magnesium Country, immigrant gathering areas and academic special zones, while the support areas of the Elephant Party are mostly concentrated in the southern and central and western regions of the Magnesium Country, mainly white, and rich in agriculture or mining. ωωw..net

The liberalism of the donkey party is very popular among senior intellectuals. As a doctor of quantum physics, it is not a question of which party Dalula will support.

Li Rui said: "What we will meet later is Francis Underwood, the current party whip of the donkey party. He came to Las Vegas to build the final momentum for the magnesium national election on the 6th."

Dalula was not too surprised and nodded, "I know him, his wife and I have seen him in several charity events, and Elon has donated tens of thousands of magnesium to Mrs. Underwood's water purification program."

"I remember Elon was a supporter of the Elephant Party?" Li Rui asked.

Dalula smiled: "As long as the interests are enough, he can also be a supporter of the donkey party..."

Li Rui also smiled. In fact, everyone is swaying with the wind. Nothing has any ideology or belief, it is nothing but interests and positions.

When they arrived at the hotel, Li Rui met Frank and Claire. Although it was already very late, they heard that they had already traveled to several states in the past few days, but the two were still refreshed.

No wonder it is said that power is the most powerful x-drug, it is true!

As soon as he saw Li Rui, Frank gave him a big hug: "Li, I'm very happy to see you, thank you for your support!"

Li Rui smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to help you."

This magnesium national election is known as the most expensive election battle in history, and both sides have spent huge amounts of election funds.

For example, this time Frank came to Las Vegas to create momentum, transportation costs, accommodation costs, personnel costs, venue costs and various miscellaneous expenses, and at least hundreds of thousands of magnesium dollars. All of this money comes from fundraising.

In order to prevent election scandals and corruption, the Magnesium State specially set up a federal election commission to strictly supervise the funding and expenditure of the campaign team.

According to regulations, each citizen of a magnesium country shall not contribute more than 5,000 magnesium to a presidential candidate in one year, and foreign citizens are prohibited from donating to the magnesium country election.

This regulation means that even if Li Rui wants to support the donkey party, he is not qualified to donate. Once he donates directly and is discovered by the Election Commission, it will lead to a major scandal.

So Li Rui was very smart to donate hundreds of 5,000 magnesium to the donkey party through the name of employees of fully controlled enterprises such as Smith Mining, Blockbuster, and R Incubator.

In addition, there is a campaign organization called "527 Organization", which is usually formed to support or oppose a specific issue. Such organizations are not regulated by the Election Commission and do not need to comply with donation restrictions.

Li Rui contributed more than ten million magnesium to the donkey party through a similar organization.

In 2010, the Supreme Court of Magnesium State ruled that Magnesium State enterprises could invest unrestricted campaign donations. Smith Mining, under the instruction of Li Rui, also donated millions of magnesium to the donkey party.

With all the donations added together, Li Rui donated more than 20 million magnesium to this magnesium election. If all this money is counted on him, he can be ranked among the top ten important donors of the donkey party in this election!

Of course, Frank and Claire attach great importance to such an important funder and their family friends. I heard that Li Rui is also in Las Vegas and wants to meet him regardless of the hardships of the boat and the hardship.

Li Rui introduced Dalula to them and said, "Dlula is the agent of the R incubator I founded in Silicon Valley. I think you will have many opportunities to deal with in the future."
