Three thousand and sixty four was the first time that chickens were allowed the vote. After a hundred year court battle, the chickens had won.
In Three Thousand and forty four a law was passed in which only demanded the possession of lips as a requirement of voting. It did not take long for the supreme court to deem this unconstitutional.
Many conservatives looked back to America during the nineteen sixties for nice hints on how to stop a certain group from voting. From Three thousand and forty five to three thousand and sixty three, written tests were required. Although this did eliminate a good 15% of the human population from voting, it did manage to stop 75% of the chickens from doing so as well.
The Eleven Herbs and Spices gang spread fear throughout chickendom with their terrorist attacks, but that did not stop most of the chickens from voting.
The elected representives in the 3065 election were 24% human, and 75% chicken. The only 1% was neither one or the other.
Needless to say, the chickens commanded the government. The two chicken parties put aside their old differences and united together.
The later part of the sixties were entitled "The humiliation years" in which chickens passed a number of laws meant only to humiliate humans. The rubber human became the big joke.
Humans revolted but were quickly put down by the chicken run military. Trials were held and many humans were sentenced, for some odd reason to being dipped into hot fat while covered with bread crumbs.
After six or so years, the chickens calmed down, besides, there was a new enemy, innanimate objects. The chicken and humans were horrified when they realized that there were several billion times more innanimate objects than humans and chickens combined. What would happen if they controlled the government?
