The polling station had closed twenty minutes earlier and the counting had begun.
"There's a lot of people voting for that guy we don't like," one of the women said.
"Really?" asked another.
She glanced at the two piles of voting slips next to the first woman and her eyes widened.
"We can't have that," she said.
She snatched the large pile of votes for the guy they didn't like and tossed them into a metal bin next to the table.
She reached into her handbag and brought out a canister of cigarette lighter petrol. She squirted it over the ballot forms and then produced a lighter.
The votes burned away and were quickly reduced to ash.
The counting resumed.
