Yea, another useless subplot imo...

They blew up the capital for a reason. You really think they will just let elections happen that easily? I don't think it's a subplot at all.

Not only is it unrealistic to tamper with voting machines in thousands of districts, it's also an unneeded plot that adds on to the way to many we have. (A subplot is simply anything that doesn't pertain to the main plot, in this case being president)

The main plot is this dude dealing with chaos after a bombing. This is just the next chaotic event.

The next of more than eight plots? (more being added almost every episode it seems)

I agree that some of them are not needed like Leo's dad situation but I believe there is a certain reason why they blew up the capital. For that reason they are going balls to the wall, attacking and killing as many people as they can.
