From a make-shift studio outside a wedding party in Minnesota:

Results from Northeast Governor's race:
MAS117 (UAC-NJ) 3 (42%)
Blerpiez (UL-MA) 2 (29%)
ColinW (R-PA) 2 (29%)

MAS has votes from Nation, himself, and The Bulldog.
Blerpiez has votes from True Democrat and Jens.
ColinW has votes from himself and Keystone Phil.
 
In the Midwest, Ilikeverin has one vote, Gustaf's, and no one else has any.

What if there is a 3 way tie? There can't be a Governor and 2 Lt. Govs like the Andrew-Siege agreement.

[Peter]

It would be highly amusing if there were a tie, presumably the NE Constitution kicks in and we get a run off in a weeks time, hopefully a candidate would drop out and endorse another.

There is always a tie in the Northeastern elections.  A clear result would be the oddity.

Ilikeverin leads Dabeav 66% to 33%, with a 2-1 lead, and 50% (6 votes last time) of precincts reporting.

Belle Fourche, South Dakota-

Former Governor Ilikeverin (I-MN) has taken a 4 to 1 lead over write-in Dabeav (L-MN) with over 75% of precincts reporting. Mr. Verin has a 60% lead over his opponent.

[Akno21]

In the Northeast Governor's race, MAS117 has opened up a slight lead, thanks to the vote of Senator Siege40.

5, MAS117 (UAC-NJ), 45%
4, Colin (R-PA), 36%
2, Blerpiez (UL-MA), 18%

[Akno21]

MAS117 has a small lead over ColinW once again, but Blerpiez and his voters still may go down in history just like IrishDemocrat (then Handzus26) did, as the ones who prevented a leftist from taking sole control of the governor's mansion.

MAS117- 6 (46%)
ColinW- 5 (38%)
Blerpiez- 2 (13%)

[Blerpiez]

This seems unlikely, as Colin would need to beat MAS today or I will of course support MAS in the runoff.

Also, Justin was running as an independent in the other election, so it cancelled out IrishDem

MAS would most likely win in a run-off, yes, but it would be better if we didn't have to go there.

Also, if IrishDem had voted for Siege, it doesn't mean that Justin would have voted for Andrew.

But it likely and hopefully, won't matter, because it looks like MAS will win.

Voter turnout in the Northeast has been pathetic.  A last minute voter surge could move this race in just about any direction.

[Akno21]

MAS117 has increased his lead to 2 votes and 14 %points, and it appears he will win. We still aren't calling it.

MAS117- 7 (50%)
ColinW- 5 (36%)
Blerpiez- 2 (14%)

In fact, MANN now has a projection:

Candidate Blerpiez will not win this election, or advance to a run-off.

[MAS117]

Blerpiez now has 3 votes, the third being from Old Europe.

[Akno21]

MAS117- 8 (50%)
ColinW- 5 (31%)
Blerpiez- 3 (19%)

At 8:30 on the East Coast, the Mid-Atlantic News Network will project that MAS117 of New Jersey will become the next Governor of the Northeast.

Ugh...NHPolitico edited his vote. Will it still count?

[MAS117]

Fritz, NHPolitico edited his post. Shouldn't it be discounted.

[Akno21]

I know we all know the ground rules, but I don't think Fritz actually said in the opening post that you can't edit your vote.

[Fritz]

Remember that these are Regional elections subject to the Regional constitutions.  The prohibition of editing a vote is in the Federal constitution and applies to Federal elections.  I see no such regulation the Northeast region's constitution, therefore in my judgment the vote stands.

Where is it in the Federal? I don't see it. Can you provide a link.

[Fritz]

Article II, Section 2, Clause 4.  All elections must be public vote. No person shall vote unless he or she has an avatar declaring the state from which they are from. All votes cast shall be deemed official and may not be amended or rescinded by the voters.

Oddly enough, this is in the section of the constitution dealing strictly with Presidential elections, so I guesss editing your vote in a Senate election might be legal.

[MAS117]

thanks, ill add soemthing to the regional consitution about this when im elected
