I highly doubt any of those guys are Hamilton. At any rate, I know for sure that Yelnoc and Zacoftheaxes are real. I don't post on www.alternatehistory.com, but I sometimes look at the discussions there, and I have seen both zacoftheaxes and Yelnoc post there. Both seem to be legitimate posters who contribute there. I really doubt that Hamilton trolls on AH.com.

I don't have as much proof for the other two posters accused, but everybody should be considered innocent before proven guilty, and I don't think that those posters are Hamilton, and I'd like to see your reasons for why you think they are before we jump to conclusions.

First off, I can't say enough how honored I am to chair this convention. I not only feel humbled, but I feel responsible, and I will put my best work into running this convention.

So let's get this party started. I believe we congregated here to edit our bylaws?

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Okay, here's a proposal - it's the Chairman's discretion what he'll do with this.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Also, for prohibiting candidates from being on the ballot line...

You must be logged in to read this quote.

I like the intent of both acts. For Not Our Candidate! are you saying that their affiliations with the Populares party will not appear on the ballot (The (POP) thing after their name in the ballot), or are you saying we're taking them completely off the ballot? I don't think we have the power to do the latter and I don't we should do the latter anyway.

Does anybody else have any revisions or suggestions for either of the two laws? If not, I think we should hold a vote on them tomorrow.

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

Ooh, sorry. I haven't been on a computer for the last couple of hours.

Anyway, voting will begin at 10:30 AM, and will continue for the next 72 hours. Please make it clear which bylaws you are voting for. Oh, BTW, these acts are the acts with Libertas' amendments. Please either vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain.

The election will begin before you close your endorsement vote, by that schedule.

Oops. Er, 24 hours then. Thanks for the heads up!

[Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey]

The endorsement vote is closed.

Does someone know how to tally up IRV voting?
