Department of Federal Elections: Homelycooking, SoFE

[Napoleon]

I have already put forth this request on behalf of my administration, and I hope that Snowstalker can cool off ans come back to the game. I understand the tough loss hurts but Snowstalker is a contributor and we need more contributors, not less. That being said, the Labor Party really dropped the ball on GOTV efforts. I think the Pacific and Mideast governors both failed to show up. That is sad.

I was having an emotional breakdown the past few days and my proxies seem to have ended up nonexistent. I would be willing to take responsibility for this and call a leadership spill if there was anybody who struck me as potentially any more competent than I've been.

Oh, this is not your fault. It can't be attributed to any one person, or even the Labor Party solely, but I feel that we can do much better than this. I know we can.

[Napoleon]

So what happened with the vote miscount? Is it possible that I won?

Unfortunately wormyguy found one of your voters didn't meet activity requirements so you still lost by less than one vote. However, we know this election was a fluke and come August we could see 1 or 2 of these guys defeated. Since you came so close this time, you should prepare for another run.

[Napoleon]

Lol! What Governor?

[Napoleon]

Napoleon will be running with Labor support on the ballot line, by the way...

Confirming that I am running as the candidate of the Liberal and Labor parties.

[Napoleon]

Napoleon will be running with Labor support on the ballot line, by the way...

Does that support extend to his running mate?

Why wouldn't it?

[Napoleon]

It is Kal and I both.

What?  Really?!?!

[Napoleon]

Hawkeye isn't Governor anymore?

He said he didn't want another term and (I think) stepped down.

I'm still governor

Sorry I thought your term was up and no one got elected. What a confusing system!

[Napoleon]

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

[Napoleon]

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.

[Napoleon]

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

Because of the 'belgiansocialist' error?  That's lousy.  I just copied it off an earlier poster in the thread.  Sorry Tweed, I think that's crap.  

I didn't make the rules.

his voter intent was clear

I agree, for the most part. I didn't even bother asking for his first preference.

[Napoleon]

Why isn't my Senate vote being counted?

[Napoleon]

I was following what the Constitution says, even though I find its a silly rule.

[Napoleon]

Not that it makes a difference to anything, but it looks like you counted my ballot incorrectly; my highest (legitimate) preference was actually Oakvale

[Napoleon]

The Kalwejt, Snowguy and Nathan string of victories was the pinnacle of interesting, fun, and competitive elections.

[Napoleon]

I only cast judgment on that which I know.

[Napoleon]

Hell yeah this election is gonna be way awesome

I told you things would be more fun.

[Napoleon]

That would also mean Reginald's vote ought to count, I think.

I am almost positive that remains in effect.

The voting booth says fifteen posts.

[Napoleon]

The only real blank spot on the wiki is this year. The only change that I can recall from that period that is remotely connected to this was the change in registration requirements for the upteenth time.

There is nobody responsible of updating the wiki, like the AG was responsible for at a moment?

People can't get access. I've tried about seven times. I have even tried asking Nym.

[Napoleon]

I would be more than willing to relax these requirements, as the Fritz example shows us that it can be counterproductive. Fritz is not someone any of us would consider a zombie.

Notice to the SoFE

Executive Order

In all future federal elections, the election administrator shall be required to post a sample ballot at least 24 hours in advance, to ensure the validity of the ballot and raise awareness for the upcoming election.

[Napoleon]

Article II, Section 1, Clause 1 is the final authority on the matter. I'll even quote it for you.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

See that?

The Senate makes the laws, and I decide how to execute them, as I just have. Case closed. Sue me if you wish. I will not be firing the SoFE so you can go ahead and start it right now.

[Napoleon]

Had this executive order been issued three months ago, I would have been asking Homely where the f-kk the ballot is   before the election ever started.
