I voted for Polnut/Fuzzy, not Polnut/tmth, FTR.

Great, now I need to check every ballot for those little nuances...

What's more, pretty sure anyone who doesn't name a VP in their vote is technically voting for [Presidential candidate]/Vacant, which is technically a different ticket from [Presidential candidate]/[running-mate].

Have fun!

No, I don't think so. Ebowed/Q semi-stole an election this way and the law was changed to be more specific.

But I think you when you specifically write-in a different VP, it doesn't count.

From what I remember, the Governor appoints someone to the seat unless the region has specified otherwise.

For at-large seats, if there are less than six weeks left in the term, then the party may appoint a replacement.

Here's the problem: how do I definitively confirm the absence of a law? Should I presume that no law has been passed?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

This is Article I, Section 4, Subsection 5. I can't find any amendments to this language, which specifies a cutoff of three, not six, weeks.

hmm yeah, I guess there would be a special election then. I forgot we changed it to "three weeks before the next election" from "six weeks left of the term." So it's a special election (by less than a day). lol.

As for the regional seat, that shouldn't be your concern. If they don't have a law then by default their Governor does the appointment. If they do have a law specifying otherwise, I think the region should deal with it.

I see the Atlasian left has reverted to a dysfunctional joke.

Rigged!

Shouldn't opebo count as a first preference for me?

I don't think so. I think that may be a similar circumstance to what happened in June 2009, though my memory is foggy.

Then President and VP are essentially elected separately which wouldn't make sense.

his voter intent was clear
