The original cartoon finished with Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam playing a game of Russian Roulette after they find out they both lost the election. This has been edited in most broadcasts, but the cartoon appears complete in the and the earlier international available super 8-mm releases and now in the new DVD release.
The town's statue has a plaque that reads "Pro Patria 1865: Batchelder, Champin, Farren, Julian, Nicholson, Perez, Pratt, Ross". This is a list of the crew that worked on the cartoon, including a presumed reference to an uncredited Warren Batchelder as well as references to Ken Champin, Paul Julian, Manuel Perez, Hawley Pratt and Virgil Ross. Many of the shop names are also references to crew members, with Ross & Co, Frizby, M. Perez and P. Julian Yard Tools being named after Virgil Ross, Friz Freleng, Manuel Perez and Paul Julian respectively.
Exploding musical instrument scheme is in three Warner Brothers cartoons. The musical score is "Those Endearing Young Charms". In order, they are, first is 1951's Ballot Box Bunny (1951), as Yosemite Sam tried to get rid of Bugs Bunny, with an explosive piano. Second is 1957's Show Biz Bugs (1957), as Daffy Duck tried to get rid of Bugs Bunny, with an exploding xylophone. Then in 1965, the rivals are Wile E. Coyote and "Anonymous" Roadrunner, (not named), in Rushing Roulette (1965). Wile E. Coyote set up an exploding piano, and the roadrunner played one 'sour note'. Additional fact: The very same musical note, approximately the seventh note to the tenth note is the note, that is not played correctly, every time and when correctly played, by the schemer, gets the explosion, happening to it.
The stores in the background are named after the animators.
President number 26, Theodore Roosevelt, is referenced in two Bugs Bunny cartoons - this one and Hillbilly Hare (1950).
