[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

If it isn't, then I am prepared to bankrupt the Atlasian government with lawsuit after lawsuit.

You forget how corrupt the current President is. I can easily instruct the justices to toss out all your lawsuits

[Velasco]

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.

JulioMadrid's vote was clearly invalid.

TNF has won an absolute majority of the votes in the midwest, and if dead0man votes, then the midwest will have a turnout rate of 100%.

Neither statement is true.  TNF has 14 of 29 in region, and Grant also has not voted.

Here it is in color. These were easier to make when your predecessor was in office I must say.

Neither statement is true.  TNF has 14 of 29 in region, and Grant also has not voted.

But Grant will not vote and Julio's is unlikely to count, so TNF is as good as elected barring some second coming of Invaligate.

[Deus Naturae]

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

[Talleyrand]

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

I'm sure Dead0man has been PMed multiple times. I don't think I've ever heard of people e-mailing to get votes in Atlasia.

[Fritz]

How do you know Grant won't vote?

[Napoleon]

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

And TNF would win 14-13.

How do you know Grant won't vote?

I say that with 99% confidence. It seems extremely unlikely for something with 80 posts to remember to log in these last few minutes just to vote. I guess I could be wrong.

[Velasco]

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.

[Хahar 🤔]

That's a pretty horrible thing to do to TNF, so horrible I'd use profanity to express my outrage, if only it was allowed on this forum.

[Napoleon]

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

Yeah it appears that Lumine is now ahead.

[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.

[TNF]

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

Yeah it appears that Lumine is now ahead.

I'm up by one vote, unless JulioMadrid's blatantly illegal ballot is counted, in which case the vote is tied.

You're right, I was making the assumption that Lumine would get one more vote. Even so, I would be wrong as it would go to a run off which I think you would be favored to win.

[Lumine]

Just for the record, I have no desire to go into a runoff if it's triggered by the act of invalidating a vote. I do not wish to win this race by resorting to such methods, and I would prefer to end this with some dignity as soon as the voting booth closes in a few minutes.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

It's unfair to every other voter in the region, including Julio, to attempt to change the result of an election after the fact by invalidating a vote. Moreover, it might even be illegal per the Vote Sanctity Act; it may not a clear case, but it's certainly an interesting one.

I don't see any way that law could be interpreted to apply to this.

[Talleyrand]

Wouldn't a tie be settled by 2nd preferences and not a runoff?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Wow, what a terrible way for an election to end up.

Consolidated electoral reform act. What you're thinking of is in the Proportional representation act. That apllies to at large seats.

[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.

It also says this, unless I am looking at an older version or this only applies to at-large seats.
