Also colour coding by party would be pretty

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I will be running for President in February 2014.

The Secretary will correct me if I'm wrong, but we are not accepting any registrations for elections that are not in the next cycle. IE you can register to run in the next prez election, but not the one after it or any after that.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Is there a schedule for regional elections? I can add it to my third post.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Just a quick note as #2; I am still busy, but one message to me is all it will take for me to literally drop everything and focus on the game if it comes down to an emergency situation (IE I have to do the counts)

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I'm not sure this is the right thread or not, but I need an absentee ballot ASAP please.

I rushed this up >.< so its not the prettiest thing in the world; but it is functional and there.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I will not let you down!

The booth becomes unlocked at the proper time. In other words, in 4 hours.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Oops, er, someone may or may not have fallen asleep. Either way, the booth is open.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Thanks for the voting booth Teddy. What would we do without you today?slash last night?

You would have PMed PS and said "can you open the booth"

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

See this https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=122913.0 regarding the closing time of the voting booth.

I apologize for any confusion.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Counting will officially begin after midnight (17 hours from now or so) however I expect to have an official "primary vote total" up before that.

As with the last time I counted midterms, I will be doing the rough election data (IE the counts themselves) on a side forum - In this case, a hidden forum of a forum I administer. I've given access to view this hidden forum to the President, as well as certain others. If you wish to also gain access, please contact me via PM. Any candidate, Senator, or Cabinet member asking will receive; others will be judged by another standard based on how many others have requested access.

I am searching for invalid votes.

polnut cast one, he was not properly registered at the time of his voting.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Mart does not meet the activity requirements by a fair margin.

East Coast Republican does not meet the requirement, narrowly.

Daniel Adams by a very narrow margin.

rebel_libertarian by a wide margin.


List of validly cast ballots is:

Of course mine will be thrown out in the counting phase, but was "cast" nonetheless.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Valid write-ins:
feeblepizza
ilikeverin
Xahar

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Quota for this election, at my current count, is 18

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

This https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=122792.msg2619850#msg2619850 was brought to my attention my another user. Rochambeau's vote is therefore invalidated.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Ballots of note:

[1] Write-in: Jas
[2] Write-in: Lewis Trondheim
[3] Write-in: Al
[4] Write-in: ilikeverin
[5] Kalwejt
[6] Badger
[7] Bacon King
[8] A-Bob
[9] AHDuke99
[10] AndrewCT
[11] NOTA
[12] Libertas

The Constitution implies that none of the above must either be the first option, or, not used at all. While it implies this, it is not 100% clear, to me anyway, of what to do in this sort of situation. Tradition has been that the ballot ends at NOTA and therefore, this is how I will read this, but there may be a case to be made if there were to be a tie and the candidate(s) ranked below NOTA would win the tiebreaker with the above rank, but would lose it without.

1) Duke
2) AndrewCT
3) A-BOB
4) Bacon

I feel the intent is clear that in the #4 slot the voter intended to vote for Bacon King, and not a strip of Bacon. This is how I've counted it.
