Title: The Political Tracker - 3rd At-Large Senate Poll (Results, and they are weird)
Post by: Lumine on July 24, 2014, 12:19:42 AM
We don't have new candidates this time, but the field has narrowed to eight with Shua and Goldwater announcing that they shall not seek another term in the Senate (and it should be noted once again only two of the three Federalists will get to the general election). Three days!

Although I'm a clarence loyalist, I can't understate how valuable you, Lumine, are to the senate. I'll vote for whoever needs my support the most, but I did vote for you in the poll.

I'm undecided between Lumine and Clarence, I would like to know more about the other candidates (even if it is a mass pm message) about how they would vote on issues like the ones currently in the queue, their vote for PPT, their view on healthcare (very important to me), how they believe we can further our academics with the youngins, and what they feel is the most important issue of today, and how they will deal with that issue.

It seems that Lumine, you'll have enough support going into the general election, so my ballot looks like this:

[ 1 ] Clarence
[ 2 ] Lumine

Thank you, Hagrid, that really means a lot!

That's precisely why I wanted a debate, the challengers are the ones with the more active campaigns (Polnut, Deus, Cynic), but we need to discuss the issues openly unless we want pure chaos for election day, xD

I'd like to see a debate to discuss the ideas before the Federalist primary.

Indeed, this is a very good idea ^^

BTW, when will the primaries be held?

Still considering if I'll add more. Could still be changed. Waiting for the debate.

I voted for Al, but if he withdrawals, I'll be undecided between Adam G, Cynic, and Lumine.

The Thursday/Friday before the election I think is stipulated in the bylaws.

I'll probably vote for myself, though I might not if I don't get back to campaigning soon.

Results:

Senator LumineVonReuental (i) (Fed) - 33.3%
Northeast Representative Deus (DR) - 22.2%
Former President Polnut (TPP) - 11.1%
Former President Dr. Cynic (Lab) - 11.1%
Senator Adam Griffin (i) (Lab) - 8.3%
Former Senator Clarence (Fed) - 5.6%
Mideast Assemblyman JCL (i) (Fed) - 5.6%
Senator Alfred F. Jones (i) (Lab) - 2.8%

Total Voters: 36.

With two candidates less after the departure of Goldwater and Shua and with low turnout for this one, we have a very weird third poll. Senator Lumine and Representative Deus increase their votes in regards to past polls, and it seems they have the support needed to win the election in August without facing too much problems. Somehow, Labor seem to lack votes here, as Alfred maintained his low performance and Griffin sunk from first to fifth, with Dr. Cynic experiencing an interesting surge when compared to the first poll. It should be noted that Lumine and Deus voters make up for more than half of the voters here, so I'm not inclined to trust this poll a very accurate. In the end, I think Griffin, Deus and Lumine (it's really weird to use 3rd person) will get the first three seats and the other two will be fought between Dr. Cynic, Polnut and Clarence.
