Post by: Oakvale on January 07, 2011, 06:47:37 PM
Hey all, sorry I'm late on putting this up.

This being a special election, two of these candidates - I'm going to say the ones with the highest amount of first preferences - will be up for election again in February.

The voting booth is now open and will remain so for 72 hours.

Vote away! :P






BALLOT:


Please rank the following candidates in order of preference:



Pacific Council:



[  ] fuzzybigfoot
[  ] Jbrase
[  ] realisticidealist
[  ] Xahar

Thank you.  :)


I know we had a bit of a shuffle, but I look forward to working with you realisticidealist, as well as Xahar and Jbrase.

And I would also like to congradulate realisticidealist for taking the other 3 month term.  :)

Hmm, after checking over the Atlas wiki, it looks like Ebowed was from Washington, but was officially registered in Oregon on an old citizens list.

Ebowed?

After a quick look on the Wiki, it says Ebowed is from Washington but is registered in Oregon.

I'll have to make up a county map for the race. :)

This is my interpretation of the results, projected out to a full electorate.

I am blue, Fuzzy is green, Jbrase is yellow, and Xahar is red. It's just a quick map; there wasn't too much thought put into it. ;)

I'm not sure about some of those in NM. I can't see San Juan County voting for Xahar.

I'm from Snohomish County, which is why I gave it to myself (part of the reason I gave Del Norte County, CA to me is because I was born there). You're in Bellingham, so I sort of gave Skagit to you since it's both closer to you and trending liberal as a county.

Fuzzy, I think I'd lose Clark County Nevada before I lose the other upstate counties.


P.S.  Does all this extra posting in the thread invalidate all our votes ???

I don't think we are invalidating the election, it has already ended.


As for Nevada, I thought that maybe realisticidealist could win some of those more populist/working class counties, while loosing Clarke County narrowly (due to a great performance by your campaign in the suburbs).

Fuzzy, I think I'd lose Clark County Nevada before I lose the other upstate counties.

The only way I could see that happening is if Mineral County (which is more economically liberal) or Lincoln County/maybe White Pine (which has a large Mormon population) took issue with your libertarianism while Xahar won the Hispanic areas of Las Vegas and split the vote between Fuzzy, him, and myself, allowing you to benefit.

I was born in Santa Clara County, which is also where I live, so I guess there's no additional bump for that.

For what it's worth, I thought you were in San Francisco for some reason. My bad. I can bump you up to 50% in Santa Clara if you want. ;)

Could someone post the actual results? I don't know exactly how a surplus is distributed in STP otherwise I'd do it myself.

EDIT: Ok, I'm going to give it a try:

Rd 1:

Fuzzybigfoot (JCP): 4
Jbrase (POP): 2
Realisticidealist (UDL): 2
Xahar (UDL): 1

Quota: 2.8, Fuzzybigfoot elected

Rd 2:

Jbrase: 2.5
Realisticidealist: 2.5
Xahar: 2

Now what? Do I eliminate Xahar?
