In a shocking turn of events, a clerical error involving meth addicts in the voting registration office has propelled Satan himself into a Senate seat, causing an unexpected surge in his poll numbers across California. The fiery new senator took office this past Monday after a mysterious glitch led to a flood of write-in votes. Eyewitnesses claim the error was due to a typo in the voter database where Lucifer’s name replaced that of local librarian Sally Smith. “It was like a demonic spell-check gone wrong,” remarked Albert Jenkins, head of the voting bureau.
Officials at the Capitol have scrambled to adjust to this infernal oversight. The Senate’s legal team issued a statement saying, “While unconventional, there is currently no legal precedent preventing interdimensional beings from serving.” Meanwhile, Satan’s approval ratings have risen higher than California wildfire warnings during heatwaves. In an official address, Satan declared, “Hell hath no fury like a lobbyist scorned,” solidifying his commitment to handling PACs with new vigor.
The tech sector has shown particular interest, with several Silicon Valley startups already lobbying for Satan-backed initiatives. In a curious twist, Google Trends reports that searches for “demon AI” have skyrocketed since the election. Rumors abound that Elon Musk has invited Satan for a private tour of his Mars colonization project, jokingly referring to it as “the gateway drug to interplanetary hellscaping.” Political analysts are perplexed but note that Satan’s tech-friendly platform aligns surprisingly well with emerging data privacy regulations.
Financial markets have responded with mixed feelings; Wall Street analysts issued optimistic forecasts citing potential tax breaks on souls and eternal damnation futures trading. The Senate Finance Committee is reportedly preparing to discuss proposed legislation under the working title: Infernal Revenue Streamlining Act (IRSA). Early drafts suggest aligning Hell’s monetary policies with recent blockchain advancements, potentially revolutionizing how penance-based credits are tracked and traded globally.
As the nation holds its breath, speculation grows around whether this new political climate will usher in an era of fiery reform or just burn out spectacularly. If anything, Satan’s arrival on Capitol Hill proves that democracy is alive and well—if not slightly scorched around the edges. With midterm elections looming, one thing is certain: voters can expect hellacious debates and perhaps even more senators freshly risen from the underworld.
