[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm about to call this one. It looks like the right will be walking into the woods for a while. The dynamics just don't favor any chance at a victory until some things change. Perhaps it's for the better.

My biggest regret of this election is that we ended up without debates, Duke

Debates are fun, but ultimately rarely change people's minds. When was the last time a JCPer strayed from the party line?

The way I see it is, you guys win this one regardless of what happens. As usual, the JCP's turnout machine was far superior to the RPP/POP combination, though the RPP had nearly 80% turnout. Furthermore, with the apparent collapse of the POP zombie machine, which is essentially what they were built on, the right's influence will wane even further, numbers wise, which is what was bound to happen considering the shaky foundation the POPs were started on.

It's a shame too. I bought all this whiskey to celebrate with my friend AndrewCT, but now it will all go to waste.

Do you have any good vodka, Kal?

The great choice of vodka

Well, regardless of the outcome, we're all staying at offices and I'm looking forward to work with you guys after the election, no matter if as Vice President or Senator

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I think the right certainly underperformed... And you can't blame the JCP for that!

Still, it's what, Fritz +4 right now? Out of 100+ votes? That's certainly no landslide. It's pretty close, and close Presidential elections are always interesting.

I didn't intend to blame the JCP in my post, bgwah. It's all on us. Your party had a vastly superior turnout machine this time around, especially given most expected my ticket to win. Kudos to you.

My point is, the writing for yet-another-collapse of the right has been on the wall for a bit, starting when Barnes won his race. I remember warning people behind the scenes that event was a sign of things to come. I was right.

The JCP has a great turnout machine. It's mainly better because all of their zombies are active members of the site, while the right has to depend on less-active members getting online during election periods.

Absolutely. The zombie machine on the right was built on people who came from God knows where, and after a few months, they stop checking this site for orders to vote, while the zombies on the left are well known members, for the most part, and come on here daily. This problem will undoubtedly affect the Populares, as was seen in the NE Senate race, where it is clear the once stronghold for the POP party is no longer theirs.

I am pleased to see RPP turnout was 80% this election. Well done, regardless of the outcome.

[Eraserhead]

I believe I have 14 votes not 13.

[Meeker]

How is the Midwest Senate race going to be dealt with?

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I believe I have 14 votes not 13.

I will investigate this along with the update.


meeker: Much of that will depend on the actions of the winner.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

How is the Midwest Senate race going to be dealt with?

I'm going to hold Vice Presidency, Senate seat and post of AG at one time, and with such power, nobody can stop me!

Due to attrition, the influx of the DAers and the increased activity of some like A-bob, and others since early this year, the RPP has in some ways become a smaller version of the JCP in terms of most of our people being active on the forum, hence do to smaller size and that factor, its not hard to get to 80% turnout. What we need to do going forward is to encourage or try to spark a regeneration of activity amongst some of our strongest talents in the RPP pool (Jedi, Smid, Afleitch, Fezzy, Rowan, etc). But really there isn't much we can do if they are tied up with personal issues and such, have RL priorities that are far more important, or are just plain bored as hell. 

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Updated

also,

President

1. Alexander Hamilton

Senate

1. DallasFan

There is only one user with a name similar to DallasFan, and that is Dallasfan65, who is one of the registered Candidates. Hence the vote is counted towards him.

The vote for President is towards an ineligible person.

[Eraserhead]

You never know. It's my understanding that "DallasFan" is a common misspelling of "Eraserhead".

[Sewer]

How is the Midwest Senate race going to be dealt with?

I get to appoint someone.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

FTR

Of Kal senate voters...
10 votes preference no one else next to him.
1 next goes to Sewer, then to ILV
1 goes to ILV
1 goes to Sven
1 goes to Vepres, who is not accepting write-ins.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

How is the Midwest Senate race going to be dealt with?

I'm going to hold Vice Presidency, Senate seat and post of AG at one time, and with such power, nobody can stop me!

...and you probably shouldnt hold all three offices at once... just saying

I tried to change that so you could, but, alas!

[Purple State]

Assuming he resigns the senate seat and not the vice presidency.

[Associate Justice PiT]

So who expects a right-wing surge at the midterms?

     Only JCPers gaming expectations.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This election result and specifically the last few hours is very much like the end of Chrono Crusade, the clock ticks down and the two main characters die when the time runs out (which runs exactly concurrent with the sun setting completely in the horizon). 


 

[Barnes]

Afleitch voted.

[Associate Justice PiT]

I fully expected a landslide loss. Right-wing seriously under-performed.

     Exhibit A of the aforementioned gaming of expectations.

[HappyWarrior]

I fully expected a landslide loss.

My race came down to literally one vote.

[Marokai Backbeat]

I fully expected a landslide loss. Right-wing seriously under-performed.

     Exhibit A of the aforementioned gaming of expectations.

I'm not gaming anything, actually. I seriously believed it. Half the reason I decided not to run myself was because I didn't want the time I ran for President to result in a loss. I didn't have high hopes for this. Color me very very pleasantly surprised.
