Let me know if there is something wrong with these numbers. I'll update at various times throughout the election.

[Jake]

actually, Rococo's vote counts.  The last election he voted in was the October Presidential Election.  He has 144 posts since then, so his vote counts.  The  other three don't though.

4-4 Tie in D3

[Nym90]

actually, Rococo's vote counts. The last election he voted in was the October Presidential Election. He has 144 posts since then, so his vote counts. The other three don't though.

4-4 Tie in D3

A pretty ridiculous loophole when you think about it; Rococo has posted fewer times than Master Jedi since the December elections, but is rewarded by the fact that he didn't vote in December.

I support counting all of the ballots, however.

I won't personally challenge any ballots that have been cast so far.

You are right. Change made.

I agree; that's ridiculous.

Indeed.  Did you vote for that bill Nym?

I did; I admit that I did not think of this potential problem at the time. It was an oversight on the part of everyone. I support the overall bill, but that was a loophole that hopefully will be corrected.

[MHS2002]

Update: Wrong addition on my part gives KEmp one more vote, Lewis one less vote.

Also: I move that Clay's vote does not count. He voted in the December elections and has less than 25 posts between December and now. I am no longer counting his vote.

[Colin]

D1 Senate:
1st Round:
Colin W: 5
Josh: 5
Others: 1

According to my count I currently have 7 votes, including the second preference from Bullmoose which flows to myself and Nation's absentee ballot. I am pretty sure that this is the right count so if you could change it that would be great.

[The Dowager Mod]

I don't see a vote by clay.

[YRABNNRM]

I don't see a vote by clay.

Absentee

Er, yes, I kind of didn't think about that.  I've posted a proposed revision to the statute (now I'm very glad it's a statute, not an amendment) on the legislation introduction thread.

[The Dowager Mod]

When was that bill passed?

[Gabu]

When was that bill passed?

Two or three weeks ago, why?

[The Dowager Mod]

It shouldn't apply to this election then.

[King]

It shouldn't apply to this election then.

Why not?  It was passed before this election.

[The Dowager Mod]

but after the last election

[The Dowager Mod]

The law says 25 posts between votes but since the bill was passed after the last vote how can it apply?

[Jake]

I don't want Naso to win by getting the inactive vote, though I'm sure he doesn't care at all.

[Gabu]

Yes, Texasgurl is right.  See section 4 of the amendment accompanying the statute:

"The parts in Section 3 pertaining to the requirement of registered voters to be active members shall not be enforced on voters who have registered prior to the passage of this amendment until they have voted in at least one federal election."

[KEmperor]

Yes, Texasgurl is right.  See section 4 of the amendment accompanying the statute:

"The parts in Section 3 pertaining to the requirement of registered voters to be active members shall not be enforced on voters who have registered prior to the passage of this amendment until they have voted in at least one federal election."

Ah, good point Gabu.

[Keystone Phil]

Yes, Texasgurl is right.  See section 4 of the amendment accompanying the statute:

"The parts in Section 3 pertaining to the requirement of registered voters to be active members shall not be enforced on voters who have registered prior to the passage of this amendment until they have voted in at least one federal election."

And so now D3 goes back to Naso...

[Sam Spade]

Yes, Texasgurl is right.  See section 4 of the amendment accompanying the statute:

"The parts in Section 3 pertaining to the requirement of registered voters to be active members shall not be enforced on voters who have registered prior to the passage of this amendment until they have voted in at least one federal election."

Ah, good point Gabu.

I see.  So, it really doesn't affect this election at all, right?

[Keystone Phil]

Yes, Texasgurl is right.  See section 4 of the amendment accompanying the statute:

"The parts in Section 3 pertaining to the requirement of registered voters to be active members shall not be enforced on voters who have registered prior to the passage of this amendment until they have voted in at least one federal election."

Ah, good point Gabu.

Naso now has three more votes, Sam.

[Gabu]

Yes, Texasgurl is right.  See section 4 of the amendment accompanying the statute:

"The parts in Section 3 pertaining to the requirement of registered voters to be active members shall not be enforced on voters who have registered prior to the passage of this amendment until they have voted in at least one federal election."

Ah, good point Gabu.

I see.  So, it really doesn't affect this election at all, right?

No.  I recall that I put that in there so we couldn't just pull it out without people having a chance to get to know that it exists, a function which it certainly has successfully served, but I still will be quite disappointed if Naso wins this election because of inactive voters after all the flak that the Democratic Party has gotten for doing so.
