Anning was spiritedly engaging with his opponent when the voting Clerk loudly announced, "Alright, voting begins now! Those who can write, come this way; those who can't, head to the other side!"
As soon as the Clerk finished speaking, the majority of people surged towards the entrance for those who could read and write.
Just as Anning predicted, the majority of the voters were literate small Bourgeois.
Despite the seemingly effective speech earlier, Anning did not let his guard down. He brought over a table and stood next to the crowd of voters, loudly urging, "Vote for me, and I'll give those Nobles a run for their money! Vote for me! I am Andy Frost!"
This tactic worked immediately – even those who were undecided penned down "Andy Frost" under his aggressive campaign.
As for the lawyer competing against Anning for the position, most of the onlookers did not even know his name, let alone consider voting for him.
