【APOLOGY】
I want to correct a statement that I made in this episode. I stated that all candidates are running as independents, which is not accurate. Some candidates are running as members of specific parties. They are not the major political parties, and since it's relatively easy to establish a party, there are so many of them out there. I apologize for the incorrect statement and any confusion it may have caused.
