au where richie & eddie meet as poll workers on election day. they're not supposed to talk about their party affiliations, so richie sees eddie's polo shirt & young republican hair and assumes he's conservative. meanwhile eddie's like WHY won't this man flirt back >:(

eddie convinces himself richie's just not interested—despite several signals clearly indicating otherwise!—but when they meet again at the local chapter of bernie's campaign the next year (this is a period piece set in 2018-2019) richie almost proposes on the spot

during election day richie kept trying to feel eddie out like "so... why are you here? why so invested in these midterms" hoping he'd say something about flipping the house but eddie, consummate rule follower, just went "i care deeply about our election process "

this thread was a trick i'm actually here to beg you all to vote. if you're a us citizen it's not too late to register! but deadlines are approaching—please check your registration if you're not 100% sure
