The Examiner: Election Tracker

[Bacon King]

I, for one, haven't voted these past few days because I'm not sure when I'm not a senator anymore.

I, for one, haven't voted these past few days because I'm not sure when I'm not a senator anymore.

New Senate sessions begin at noon on the first Friday of the month following the election.
Your term as a Senator therefore continues until noon, Friday 2 May.

Ah, gracias.

[Bacon King]

Just for the record, I will not be supporting Mr. DownWithDaLeft for President Pro Tempore under any circumstance. In fact, if he is somehow elected to the position, I will resign on principle.

[Bacon King]

While I greatly appreciate the reference to my opposition of the Southeast's recent initiatives, please not that I will not be known as "Fmr Sen. Bacon King" until my term expires in a few weeks.

'Tis interesting that The Examiner does not see fit to point out the fact that Senator Bacon King failed to participate in the initiative debate thread and in the actual voting, making his belated complaints rather hypocritical. Perhaps those who decry the lack of activity in the Dirty South or the quality of legislation should actually try to set an example and participate in the process.

How was I even to know of all this? There hasn't been an initiative thread or election for four months and these weren't even held at the appropriate time.

[Bacon King]

I missed a thread that has been ignored all year and I missed an election that was completely unscheduled. Sorry, but this is not me "deciding not to participate," this is me not even knowing about it because of the hectic and haphazard manner in which it was accomplished. I see no hypocrisy in my actions.

Besides, a lack of participation wasn't even the focal point of my argument. Someone should have picked up on a bill directly contradicting itself, or at least referring to a part of itself that doesn't even exist. Hashemite even pointed out in the initiatives thread that the "Freedom of Currency Act" was unconstitutional, but nobody did anything! Just because My previous lack participation doesn't make any single aspect of my criticism any less true.

the RPP, foiled by time zones again!

My question hasn't been answered. How are NEW REGISTRATIONS supposed to even know "precedent"?

How would it even matter if they knew it or not? Voters usually register whenever they discover Atlasia and become interested in it, you know, not when some guy on the internet sends them a links and tells them to join to get more votes for his party. That's literally the only case that knowing such a precedent is relevant to an initial registration.

Maybe that's why they found Atlasia and started asking questions in threads about how to sign up, right? If it were what you assume, whoever "told them to join" would also tell them how to join, don't you think?

I'm not accusing anyone specifically of anything, though I suppose in that case it would be the burden of the person getting others to join, yes. Of course as I've already noticed today it doesn't seem like everyone 'round these parts exactly understands how time zones works anyways

I was in a similar situation when I joined, actually, in that I joined too late and cast a vote that was invalidated. Of course, I just waited until the next election to have my say. Are you afraid these are fly-by-night voters or something that will go away if they can't vote right now?

Please note that floridarepub is not an active voter (did not post 15 times in the 8 weeks before the election) and thus his vote is not valid.

[Bacon King]

This is great.

Yeah, zombies are great.

Who are you defining as zombies, here? Genuine question.
