Summary

Happy Election Day 2018, Quibbler fam! To keep you company while you wait in line to cast your vote (or just for fun if you're not American/not eligible/not able), here's a little something extra. We're talking Cornelius Fudge's suspicious "sacking," how the Malfoys exert their political influence, whether the wizarding political parties are just "Snakes" and "everybody else," and what motivates us, your humble hosts, to vote. So go exercise that hallowed right and remember: Vote because wizards can't.

0:56.9	In the meantime, it's a big week.
0:59.7	If you're American, if you're not, hopefully this is still somewhat interesting to you,
1:05.1	but it is not as immediately relevant in other countries.
1:09.2	It's election week, y'all. The midterms are this Tuesday,
1:13.6	November 6th, and we are hoping with all our might that those of you who can are going to get your butts out there and vote.
1:23.6	And maybe some of you already have. A lot of states have early voting or vote by mail.
1:28.7	It ruled when we lived in Arizona and could vote by mail. That is no longer the case.
1:35.1	Yeah, we're not going to get all polemical on you, but this is your Quibbler PSA reminder.
