Election ---> Delection
After high school, Reese Witherspoon acts as Ferris Bueller's campaign manager when he runs for National Morale Officer, a position that doesn't exist, his campaign slogan admits, "but we desperately need."
He's counting heavily on write-in votes for the position. For it to exist, for him to fill it, for the Feds to acknowledge it...
The movie centers on her internal dialogue on Election Night.
If he wins, it'll convince her that America is still open to whimsy and hope, restoring her faith in humanity, the democratic process, and the future.
If he loses, well, she gets to say, "I told you so!" for the next forty years.
Either way, the satisfaction should be sublimely delectable.
