The One With Electioneering and Suffragettes. The Election S3 Ep 20

Elmer Dobkins is not like the rest of the student body of Walnut Grove. Aside from being a little shy and having a fondness for taking care of animals in need, Elmer is also a few years behind everyone else in school. Which is the main reason he is picked on/teased/bullied by the older kids. And just like Carrie White, Elmer Dobkins soon finds himself being nominated for something he never wanted to be: Class President. It's nothing more than dirty politics from this point on. While Nellie Olson continues to resort to her one true and tried method of retaining friends/voters: Bribery, Mary Ingallas is working on being an honest candidate. And, Sadly, Elmer Dobkins election campaign managers have promised Elmer will eat a worm for each vote he receives. After witnessing how Elmer is treated by his classmates Elmer's Father tells him to withdraw from the election. Even though Elmer, now, wants to at least make an attempt at trying to win. It all comes down to speeches, votes, and little bit of election history proving that a single vote can make a difference. How many Bullies live in the Hero township area? Will Laura be a successful campaign manager if her spelling is usually incorrect? What other crops, in addition to corn, are being held in the Ingallas Soddy pantry/air BnB?
