Election Tracker - NE Special

Julio's however, is blatantly invalid, as it disparages a candidate for both Senate and Vice President outright.

How on Earth can you define as disparagement what Julio wrote-in about TNF's inability for pragmatism?

The Autonomous Left in the Midwestern Oblast is confident in the egregious wisdom of the Atlasian Electoral Authority, which will count the vote of comrade Julio as valid, as much his vote for President as his vote for Regional Senator. In other case, we will raise the most energetic protest before any attempt of limiting his freedom of speech.

Well, Lumine could hypothetically email Dead0man and tell him to vote.

And TNF would win 14-13.

Now, it'd be 13-13 if deadOman casts his ballot for Lumine. I'm aware that someone could say that I am deliberately sabotaging the election by editing my ballot out of time. Anyway, I think it's not fair giving TNF the victory because Julio's vote doesn't count and, on the other hand, I was highly undecided before.

[Velasco]

That's a pretty fuсking ѕhitty thing to do to TNF.

It's nothing personal; I gave my first pref for TNF because I knew he would be extremely active and totally dedicated to his work. Lumine would be as good as TNF in that regard.

[Velasco]

Nowhere in the law does it say that the voter and the instructor cannot be the same person. And, frankly, it doesn't make much sense to punish someone for encouraging someone else to invalidate a vote but not for editing their own vote to achieve the same end.

I assume the possible consequences of my action, which I admit it has been rather unthinking. There wasn't an obscure motivation behind it.

[Velasco]

Well, guys, I want to apologise because it was an awful idea editing my vote. I feel sorry because I might have provoked a little drama and that wasn't my intention. I think it's better if I de-register myself as an Atlasian citizen for a couple of months, as a sort of self-punishment

Velasco, I encourage you to lawyer up.

As a fellow Spaniard, I will pledge $10,000,000 of my own money to funding Velasco's legal council, should it prove necessary.

Thanks for the offer, anyway
