Many sighed with relief at the election, assuming that the head of the dangerous snake had been cut, not realizing a Medusa-like operating system lay behind it.
Minor quibble: Medusa (she with the hair of snakes and petrifying gaze) WAS successfully killed by decapitation. The mythological snake monster with multiple heads (cut one off, two grow in its place) is the Hydra. So that particular metaphor doesn't work here.

Good catch!
