March 2014 At-Large Special Senate Election - ELECTION TRACKER

[Deus Naturae]

What happens if two candidates are tied for the least votes (as is the case with me and Simfan after Mechaman's vote)? Does it go by second preferences?

[Simfan34]

You win. Well, you advance and lose, but it goes to you.

I believe it would go by who was ahead in the previous round.

[Хahar 🤔]

The best president pro tempore in my time in Atlasia was Verily.

[Maxwell]

It's still a complete toss-up between Alfred and Simfan. Simfan would beat Alfred 53%-47%, but Alfred would beat Deus 54%-46%, and the next to final round is damn close (Deus only beats Simfan due to first prefs)

If Simfan-Deus had made it to the final round, then Simfan would beat him 62%-38%.

[Talleyrand]

Maxwell, how does that translate in terms of raw votes? I know there are a good number of exhausted votes in each situation.

I've just been counting in a shortcut sort of way by relative preferences, so I don't have the earlier round results, but for the next-to-last round I have :

Alfred  39
Simfan 34
Deus 31

last round:
Simfan 53
Alfred 46

[Maxwell]

Forgot we have more time.

So what percentage actually thought the election was over at midnight, at midnight?


I would guess the same percentage that didn't read The DoFE board.

From the whispers and sounds I heard, more people on your general side of the field than ours.

Reminds me of the exchange from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly:

Eli: Hurrah for the Confederacy! Hurrah for General Lee, God is with us because he hates the Yanks.
Clint: No God's not on our side because he hates idiots also.
Troops arrive and dust themselves off revealing their blue uniforms

I hope you include the fact that Gass's vote doesn't count because he was five minutes late.
