As Fritz appears to be under the weather, occupied, or otherwise unable to be here to post this topic, I'll do it in his stead.  Given that I'm just copying and pasting what he probably would say anyway, I'm assuming he won't mind.

The govs vote for Bulldog is not counted. NickG is in district 2.

Also, Ethelberth's vote may be invalid due to him not stating his state of residency.

And possibly EarlAW's is invalid also due to him not stating his residency in his signature.

I did a search for Ethelberth's posts here hoping it would work to my advantage, and he registered as a Democrat from Maine on November 25. I believe that his vote does count.

Not going to try to fight that.

But Fritz said awhile back that voters who do not include their state of registration in their avatar or signature will not have their votes counted or at least I thought he did.

Really? I seem to vaguely recall that. I'm going to try to find it, but I'm not entirely sure if the vote should be rejected either way.

Sounds awfully official.

I think you're right. The vote should not be counted.

However, in the future, we might want to work to make this more aware to new members. I don't like having to take the side of throwing out votes, but Fritz made an official, clear and concise statement and he failed to comprehend.

Are much agonizing, I have decided to edit my vote in support of Supersoulty, thus probably throwing the election to him.  I do this because I firmly believe that Supersoulty will make an excellent senator from our District.  Bulldog, while I agree more with him ideologically, is an unknown quanity.  He has not posted once since he voted on Friday, even though our district's election has turned out to be one of the possible upsets of the cycle.  He is not very active and has done little to no campaigning.

Supersoulty has more experience than I do.  He is devoted, has run a positive informative campaign and deserves to win this election more than Bulldog.  I cannot in good conscience stand by and watch District One lose someone who will probably be one of the best senators Atlasia has ever seen.

Bulldog, I'm sorry.  Your speech alone was enough to convince me to vote for you as a sacraficial lamb, not in a close election.  Your inexperience and your lack of posting resulted in my tough decision.

My fellow Democrats, I'm sorry.  But in this election, between someone who agrees with me but doesen't post and a proven experienced leader of Atlasia, I must do what is best for the district.

Therefore, I hereby change my vote for Supersoulty, rendering my vote invalid.

There seems to be some confusion as to the vote totals in D1. I am seeing some media outlets have it at 11-10 Supersoulty. I think Defarge thought it was 11-11, which is why he changed his vote to invalidate it.

There's no question that Supersoulty won, but I was just curious as to what the actual count is.

There is one candidate in particular that I felt deserved to win and lost. That candidate is Senator SteveNick. The district 5 race really went down to the wire but unfortunatley it didn't end up going SteveNick's way. I'd like to thank him for his service in the Senate and hopefully he will return to elected office very soon. Congrats Gabu on an excellent race.

I can see the obvious source of one difference between The Region's results and the official results in that Fritz counted the vote of NixonNow (aka Richard B. Cheney aka Richard M. Nixon) who voted in D1 despite being registered in Texas.

NixonNow/Nixon/Cheney is registered in Pennsylvania, under questionable legality.  This is the same type of questionable legality that has allowed Philip to recently register with a new account in Virginia.  Technically, its legal I guess.

In the official voter's list, Richard M. Nixon is listed as being registered in Texas.  IIRC, he  tried to reregister to PA, but fell afoul of the four month rule as he had moved from NJ to TX less than four months ago.

I should have changed Nixon to PA on the list.  The reason its legal is because he didnt *move* to Texas, his registration in Texas was his first under the account he is currently using.  So, he can move to PA and stay there for 4 months.

This is just one of many, many updates that need to be made to the voter lists post-election.  (Time to do the asterisk thing, and all that, a couple people moved and changed party during the election...)  I'll get a fresh list posted tomorrow evening.

Looks right to me. In that case, Defarge invalidating his vote didn't actually change anything.

Maybe some people were accidentally counting NickG's vote for Bulldog, that may have been leading some media outlets to incorrectly state the race as tied 11-11. As well, these sources were clearly not counting MIke NixonNow's vote. The race was actually 12-10, then became 12-9 when Defarge invalidated his ballot.

NixonNow violated the spirit of the law, as he is clearly the same person as he was before, under his old deleted account. Therefore, he has changed registrations more times than allowed; but as he deleted his old account and created a new one, he followed the letter of the law.

Not cheapening it. If someone changes his mind and wants to vote for a different candidate, I have no problem with that at all. He did the honorable thing, to be willing to admit that he felt his vote was a mistake, and that he desired to change it. I wish he had deleted his vote and made a new post with his new vote, in that case the vote would have actually been counted for you.

Just pointing out that the media didn't do the best job in their vote counting this year. It was a serious error in this case as it led to much consternation as to what the result would be when it wasn't actually in doubt in the final hours.

If a vote can't be altered, shouldn't this mean that the vote from the original post has to stay? IIRC that was the framers' original intent. After all you can't go back to the polling station and change your vote either.
If that were the case Defarge couldn't devalidate his vote.
Re:NixonNow.
He was also, for a while, fantasy registered twice, just like IrishDem/GirlGoneWild.
So was (is?) RReagan4Ever/Eversole_Adam (neither of them ever tried to vote twice in the same election, however.)
Basically, if we allow this practice of deleting yourself and reregistering to stand, we'd better scrap the "no moves in four months" requirement as the loophole is going to be larger than the law itself.

No you cannot. It is Atlasian law that you cannot edit a vote and if you do it will not be counted. You could have deleted your vote and revoted but it is too late to due so. If you did bring this to the court the court would not accept the challenge since the office of the SoFA has said that if you edit a vote it cannot be counted.

I must say congradulations to all of the winners. Gabu, WMS, Al, Siege and Supersoulty are all great men who deserved to win and will help and serve Atlasia to the best of their abilities. I must also thank Defarge for doing the self-less act of editing his vote and thus giving Supersoulty the lead. I thank both him and Gabu for seeing that the man who deserved to win that race was Supersoulty. I once against congradulate all the victories and say good luck to all those who lost.

Of course you can. In fact I guess you should.
That's what the Supreme Court is for after all - as a second instance in case the SOFA s up. Looking at the established body of precedent, I don't like your chances that very much, though, I have to say.

I must say congradulations to all of the winners. Gabu, WMS, Al, and Supersoulty are all great men who deserved to win and will help and serve Atlasia to the best of their abilities.
So Siege and TrueDemocrat didn't and won't? ;( At least you did congratulate them. :)

I must also thank Defarge for doing the self-less act of editing his vote and thus giving Supersoulty the lead.
Which was clearly in violation of the spirit of the law...oh well, it didn't change the outcome.

Oh I'm sorry to both of them especially Siege. Didn't mean it, it was a slip of the memory. Thank you for pointing that out Lewis.

I voted for Harry in District 4 (among with all others, being not too clear about the rules)

However, my vote was not counted because I edited it. Can I challenge this in the Supreme Court?

Dave

No you cannot. It is Atlasian law that you cannot edit a vote and if you do it will not be counted. You could have deleted your vote and revoted but it is too late to due so. If you did bring this to the court the court would not accept the challenge since the office of the SoFA has said that if you edit a vote it cannot be counted.

I must say congradulations to all of the winners. Gabu, WMS, Al, Siege and Supersoulty are all great men who deserved to win and will help and serve Atlasia to the best of their abilities. I must also thank Defarge for doing the self-less act of editing his vote and thus giving Supersoulty the lead. I thank both him and Gabu for seeing that the man who deserved to win that race was Supersoulty. I once against congradulate all the victories and say good luck to all those who lost.

For one thing, I don't think you have any legal standing to act on behalf of the Court and say what they would rule. Unless you have spoken to every justice, you don't know what they would say. Even if you have you don't really have any authority to speak on their behalf on this manner.

Not to mention that you are wrong in saying that he can't challenge it. He has every right to challenge it. Whether he will win or not is uncertain, but you make it sound as if he can't challenge it.

As I've said in other threads, it's unclear as to whether a vote constitutes the entire post, or just the text stating the formal expression of preference. Just because he edited his post doesn't mean he changed his vote, and he can get plenty of witnesses to attest to the fact that his vote didn't change.

It's also worth noting that Supersoulty was 2 votes ahead when Defarge changed his vote. I still strongly respect him for having the guts to admit that he thought he had made a mistake, but it didn't change the outcome of the race.

There's nothing wrong with stating your opinion, but it's just factually wrong to say that he can't challenge it. You can express an opinion that he'll lose, and that you don't think he should challenge it, but it looks like you are trying to make him think that he can't challenge it, so that he won't. I don't think that is what you are actually trying to do, but it gives that appearance.

As for precedent, votes like this have been counted before. It can be argued that it was wrong to count those votes as well, but there is a precedent established for counting votes as long as the vote wasn't altered, only the post.

I'm sorry if it came out that way I have been grogy all day and maybe I didn't type what I meant to say. I didn't want to give him that idea. Of course he can challenge it do I think he will win, no, and thats what I was trying to get across. I'm not Keystone I don't look for fights.

How can we know what two of the three justices even think? They are never even on the board anymore. I haven't seen DemRepDan in weeks and Liberty only occassionaly pops up and never in the fantasy section. We need active Justices doing something!

Since being nominated for the court DemRepDan has posted seven times. Once to accept, once to be sworn in, once to vote, once to agree to join the Freedom Party, and three other items. DemRepDan is a very qualified person for the job, but he isn't active enough.

Post by: Defarge on December 13, 2004, 06:34:38 PM
OK, If I'm wrong, correct me.

SuperSoulty votes:
AndrewBerger
ColinW
Erc
Huckleberry Finn
J.J.
Julien
Kemperor
Keystone Phil
Nation
Patrick1
Richard B Cheney
Supersoulty
(12)

Bulldog votes:
Boss Tweed
Danwxman
EarlAW
IrishDemocrat
LordTraldan
Romeomustdie
Smash255
TheBulldog
True Democrat
(9)

Looks right to me. In that case, Defarge invalidating his vote didn't actually change anything.

Maybe some people were accidentally counting NickG's vote for Bulldog, that may have been leading some media outlets to incorrectly state the race as tied 11-11. As well, these sources were clearly not counting MIke NixonNow's vote. The race was actually 12-10, then became 12-9 when Defarge invalidated his ballot.
I agonized for nothing?!?  *beats head against wall*

I still stand by my vote, or decision to disquality my vote.
