There's always rigging claims to elections and for once it was actually true with a USA principal who got caught out trying to rig one for her 11-year-old. See…
So the principal, uh, has admitted to changing student election results so her own 11-year-old child could win the position of president.
Arielle Ka- Carey is her name, the principal at Washington Elementary School, sent a letter to families acknowledging that she override the votes to award two runner-up positions.
Yes, but-
It was only meant to be one
...
but, you know-
She made it two
... you know, if you can't use your position-
Oh
... for these kinds of things.
I mean, and they always say-
No, there's using your po- [laughs]
They always say, "It's not what you know, it's who you know."
There's using your position and then there's lying and cheating your way to the top.
And what a, what a, you know, example to set.
Oh, many good people have done that.
What an example to set for said 11-year-old.
So, uh, Arielle Carey was placed on administrative leave after the scheme was discovered, but she's recently res- returned to her job.
