Homer then confronted Principal Dondelinger about it, who revealed that he had the ballot box buried to spare Homer's feelings.

In a vision of what could have happened, shown by the old Italian man in Luigi's, after Homer won the election, every student started laughing before Lenny and Carl told everyone that Homer proved that you didn't have to be popular to have everyone like you. While the students were all cheering for Homer, Vance applauded his victory.
