6) Chronicles of Narnia

7) Lord of the Rings

Middle Earth voters carefully cast their ballots into the Crack of Doom at the highly active, volcanic Mount Doom in Mordor.  Everybody gets a free sticker.

8) Avatar

Widespread election fatigue across Pandora appears to have been caused by an overwhelmingly high number of campaign contributions and advertisements from rival Super PACs: “Citizens for Unobtainium” and “Navi for Eywa.”

9) The Matrix

Cautious voters succumb to Machine voting.  Absentee voters choose either Red or Blue pill.

10) The Wizard of Oz

Bonus: Video Game – Super Mario World

Mario/Luigi ticket tops polls and has star support from Princess of Mushroom Kingdom. Pundits suggest he may squash opponents, but faces backlash from PETA protesters.  Opponents say he has received questionable campaign contributions, both from anonymous sources and grass roots efforts.  Favors: Public transportation via pipes, whistles.  Opposes: Slow moving terrorists.
