First of all, how can the whole election situation rest on such a delicate balance. Thugs at polling places, beating up voters or threatening them, so that the person selected by the mob can take over. Jump to a professor who has a love for "cabbage" to develop a machine that can lower the temperature to -2000 degrees (way below absolute zero) so he can freeze Superman, thereby keeping him from protecting the ballot boxes. They must at least have had a high school science teacher to bounce things off when it came to the laws of physics. The professor is an eccentric little guy who talks very much like Yoda from Star Wars. Anyway, Superman is frozen (sort of). Actually, he turns white and his powers are stripped. Then, as Clark Kent, he uses Lois's makeup to look normal. Can you imagine? The mistake the bad guys make is they get cheap (after all their efforts) and decide to do the Pied Piper thing, where they refuse to pay after the job is complete. This episode really stretches the imagination. Of course, we look at it through modern eyes and as Americans. Other countries might say, "Of course, the elections are rigged and there are guys with machine guns outside the polling place." But the utter lack of oversight here is amazing. Not one of the best efforts.
