Not that it matters, but I thought the same thing initially as a casual bystander. Smiley

Well, the vote was for the special senate election (as Supersonic said in his initial post), but a lot of people seem to have missed that.

Apparently, even though at lest one your votes was from someone who thought he was voting for Vice-Chairman...

Does anyone besides Goldwater intend to run for At-Large Senate?

20RP12 clearly did not intend to, Simfan left the party so votes for him are invalid, and JCL never declared he was running for At-Large Senate or voted for himself so votes for him can't be valid either.

So if the vote was for that, no one won Tongue

Edit: JCL clearly did. This is a mess. We should throw the vote out and start over.

Since it looks like we're gonna have to start the vote over, I'm announcing my intention to run the Whig primary.

Just to be sure, Carl, are you running for the At-Large Seat as well as the Mideast regional seat?  I want to get a primary poll going soon.

I'm going to try to smooth things over here within the framework of our by-laws.

Nothing in those by-laws talks about primaries. Since this vote was not official, in my capacity as nothing, I am calling the vote off immediately.

I move for a vote of non-confidence in Vice Chairman [vacancy]. I need a second.

Thank you, 20RP12. I should not have to do this, but our leadership is MIA and I interpret the by-laws as unclear enough to give me the wiggle room to proceed in whatever haphazard manner is convenient. I have no idea if this is the proper process, but hey—at least it makes it look like we're not a complete train wreck. Tongue


Do you agree to remove [vacancy] from the position of Vice Chairman?

Members, please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain. Voting will last for 24 hours.

As we continue with this vote (we really need some official leadership here), I'm going to go off on a semantics-related tangent....

Because I just realized something extremely convenient. I already said it earlier, but I didn't realize the implications of it:

The primary process is an unofficial operation of the party since it is not outlined in the by-laws. Thus, I imagine anyone could technically run the primary. So I could go right ahead and create a thread in the Voting Booth where we'd select our candidate. The problem is, any serious vote would probably have to take at least 72 hours... at which point we get very close to the election and lose out on a lot of time for campaigning.

So—I am going to send private messages to JCL and Goldwater to see if they even want a primary, or if they'd rather just take their chances in the actual election. At this point, I honestly don't give a sh*t what we do. Most of their second preferences would go to the other Whig anyway. I'm just letting you know for the sake of transparency.
