Very nice.

I notice that the Northeastern flag excludes Ernest.

Look closer, the re-sizing of the image has appeared to make Delaware disappear. I do know it's on there, I designed the flag

Ha, so it is.

Note that Andrew has no majority at the moment.

Well, he does in the final round. Unless there's something I'm missing.

7 out of 14 is not a majority.

[Хahar 🤔]

So exhausted votes don't count? I see...

[Хahar 🤔]

Upon checking, you don't actually need a majority, just the most preferences in the final round.

The result is closer than it looks; in a hypothetical 5^th round, Andrew would recieve none of my votes (four would go to Al, with one exhausted). The high rate of exhaustion could prove an important factor.

65% turnout? That's amazing for an SE.

Under SoFA Q, parties had the ability to expel members or disband, in which case the members in question would become independents. What is your position on this?

As I recall, though, the power was never invoked mostly because being an independent in Atlasia isn't really harmful, as it would be in the real world. Independents have such an easy time with election it's not really all that harmful to one's "carreer". Either that or party leaders were too afraid to kick people out of their parties'.

That would make sense. I was just asking if the right existed.

Mike, if you don't want Sam Spade in your party, you have the right to remove him as party leader.

The bottom four entries here all relate to the disbanding of parties, as does Straha's registration.

[Хahar 🤔]

BTW, Earl, on the voter rolls, you provide abbreviations for minor parties, but don't say what they stand for.  You might want to fix that.

[Хahar 🤔]

The Federalists are no longer a major party, BTW.

[Хahar 🤔]

Xahar was all excited that was he was able to rally ten people to form a party in a few days, a few hours the Southern Secessionist Movement has 4 members for something that seems to be unpopular in the nation as a whole

I had 3 members in 57 seconds. What's your point?

That getting members into a new party isn't hard at all.  And BTW we had three members before the party even officially existed, beat that

I had 5 before the party existed.

[Хahar 🤔]

The Federalists are no longer a major party, BTW.

I consider four members to be a major party, unless there's legislation that says otherwise?

Constitution, Article V, Section 1, Clause 8:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

BTW, when's the SE?

I will vote for the strongest unionist candidate in that election.

I am a very staunch unionist. This is as opposed to the AUB, which housed DWDL and SPC before they formed their own party.

Aaaah, but you used to be a member of the AUB. You stand convicted of evilbad softness on secessionism!

NOOOOOOO!!!!!

[Хahar 🤔]

BTW, when's the SE?

21st of August

Special election?

[Хahar 🤔]

When is the Lt.Governor Election in the SE?

End of the month.

[Хahar 🤔]

Do we all have to re-register as Regional Protection Party (RPP) or can the SoFA just make the change in the voter roll?

I believe y'all have to re-register, unless you can find legislation that suggests otherwise.

Like I've said, SoFA Q did it automatically.

[Хahar 🤔]

fyi yall, the circumstances are beyond my control.

Just out of curiosity, does the result have the potential to materially affect the results, or just the tally?

Just the tally.

[Хahar 🤔]

Every two months.

[Хahar 🤔]

Voter lists obscenely out of date.
