Unplugged

In this cartoon, you see a line of voters and the election official saying, "Next" after the first person just voted. The cartoon shows a voting machine that is actually unplugged. the artist is pointing out the fact that the voting systems can be skewed and maybe this particular machine is in a city dominated by one party, and the other party unplugged it. The cartoon just shows people voting without noticing the machine is unplugged. It relates to our class discussions and current political events because it shows that the voting systems are actually skewed. They influence the topics because it just shows a big man covering the unplugged machine so that nobody sees that it is unplugged.
