I'm not in the Midwest but I don't see a good reason to recall the Governor. A recall can be good when the officeholder is failing in his duties to make the region function, such as not taking action when laws are passed by the assembly or if he becomes to inactive. I have not noticed he has not fulfill his duties as Governor.
The election took place not even a month ago. There wasn't even someone else who ran for the job. It's time to run at election time. What has happened in a couple of weeks that would justify a recall. The Governor seems to be active and filling his role. It looks more like a recall is happening because people have suddenly found someone to replace him. Not a great reason for a recall now. This should be at elections time.
Thanks for your support, Poirot! Yeah, I find it funny to how many Atlasian's are coming after me when I'm actually here, while Pacific Governor Simfan is returning from a very long absence with no reasonable explanation for his absence and everyone's perfectly okay with that. Even Averroes who supports the recall of me withdrew the articles of impeachment against Gov. Simfan.
I was elected twice already in my three month tenure as Governor, and I faced little or no opposition at all. August was a special election for Governor so I guess I can understand that, but October was regularly scheduled, people knew there was a Governor race taking place, and nobody decided to run against me. That's a pretty strong mandate if you ask me.
Let me just reassure everyone that there is nothing I've done that should allow for a recall. I'm currently taking a state & local government class in college and we discussed recall elections a few months ago. My professor said it best when the recall should only be an option if something's "unbecoming of the office", yet the reason's given by the organizer for the recall being triggered are for certifying election results while following all laws involved in counting and certifying votes, and I would like to remind everyone that
Section III, Part (b) of the Midwest Constitution states that the Midwest Governor "oversees all elections." It's not the Chief Judicial Officer as some seem to think. The organizer and others are also calling for my recall for being aligned with a certain party, and for having a view on a certain topic. Those latter two have no affect on how I govern, and the results I certified are perfectly legal given the circumstances of that election. None of these things are unbecoming of this office.
I won't resign and I will stand by my strong record so far as Governor. I care too much about this region to give up on it.
