A/N: Remember I did say that Sam learns that not all leaps have to be complex or problematic lol. Also, when the elections for this sort of thing are held kind of slipped my mind. So if the date is wrong, I apologize.
Sam blinked and looked around. Where ever he was, he was in a small booth-like box with a curtain pulled behind him. In front of him a ballot box sat on a table.
"Oh boy," Sam muttered as Al stepped in the Imaging Chamber.
"Sam," Al said. "You've got a very easy leap on your hand this time. It's November 6, 1964. Your in a small town in Nebraska called Wolf's Burg and it's election time. For mayor to be more exact."
Al waited for Ziggy to bring up more information as Sam waited.
"Apparently," Al said, "the mayor that gets elected in the original history, Alfred Jones, turns out to be really corrupt and ends up stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from the town over the next few years. By the time it's discovered, the mayor had already hidden the money but never told anyone where it was. It actually ends up bankrupting the town."
Al waited for more information.
"And he won by one vote," Al continued. "Ziggy says the man you were about to leap into voted for Jones, so you just need to vote for the other guy running, Alex Smith."
"Really?" Sam asked.
"Ziggy says it's a ninety-nine percent chance."
"Oh. Well, I guess I'll get to it." Sam replied. Sam picked up a ballot and filled out the ballot with the required items.
Once finished, Sam slipped the ballot into the ballot box and the blue haze surrounded him as he disappeared to another time and place.
Al checked out the updated history. Indeed, Alex Jones, a desegregation supporter, won the mayoral election by one vote. Over the next few years of his candidacy, he did what he could to help the town improve and helped promote racial equality among the citizens of the town.
Al smiled as he stepped out of the Imaging Chamber. Too bad all the leaps couldn't be this easy for Sam.
