So I've had a really busy week and haven't been able to pay as much attention to Atlasia and recent election as I would've liked to so the recent election controversy has kind of flown over me. It seems as if I've been declared the winner, so I'd like to thank the citizens of the Northeast for choosing to reelect me, and congratulate my fellow Assembly members on their election. I'd also like to thank Castro for a really civil campaign and actions in the post-election saga. (And if it turns out he was elected, I have total confidence he'd be a great Assemblyman.)

Well, it's been a confusing week with those results, but in the end it'll be awesome to serve along with a fellow Pokémon fan

Hello,

Tonight, I'm officially kicking off my reelection campaign for a third term in the Northeast Assembly. Over these last few months, I've tried to be an active part of a productive Assembly, and though I definitely can do better, I feel like I've contributed a good amount. I've led the effort on many bills, which include ensuring the security of our public transportation funds, a poorly written event referendum bill, a surprisingly accepted gas tax increase, and an commitment from the Northeast to Vision Zero. I hope that my experience is enough to convince you to elect me for another term.

[pikachu]

Remember toget out and vote over these next few days for the Northeast Assembly race! I hope the People can give me and Castro their top preferences and I wish good luck to all my competition.

So I guess I'm governor now... Per the Constitution, the special election for the rest of the will be held next Friday. Until then, I will be serving simultaneously serve as the Lietenant Governor and Governor. In the absence of a confirmed CJO, I will be opening a voting booth for the special election to replace Castro at midnight.

In the absence of a confirmed CJO, I will be opening a voting booth for the special election to replace Castro at midnight.

The Governor special election will be held concurrently with a vote on the Assembly Inactivity Amendment.  Unfortunately, the Patchwork Amendment just missed the deadline to be put on the July ballot (before 12:00AM of the second Friday of the month) and will be placed on the ballot in August with the regularly-scheduled Assembly election.

Are you going to hold a two-day election for the vacant Assembly seat?  Technically, it should have been opened at 1AM EDT this morning.  I don't know if there is any precedent for keeping the voting booth open on Monday.  Best I can tell, the most recent Assembly vacancy law says that the election is to be held using the same timing and rules as regular Assembly elections, and the constitution specifies that the booth in those elections be closed at Sunday at 11:59:59pm EST, which technically is Monday at 12:59:59am in the summer (though we haven't been following that).  

I'd suggest opening the special election ASAP instead of waiting until Midnight, but it's your call.

Acting Governor pikachu - Please call up the national guard to defend the Northeast against any illegal invasion by Midwest Governor TNF's forces.  I know we don't border the Midwest, but the Northeast must be defended just in case.

Yes, of course

Good for you, Governor!

[pikachu]

The special prosecutor bill looks like it will pass, and I expect to get the SWE trial started soon.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, I'm running for Governor in the special. I've been an Assemblyman and Lieutenant Governor since February, and I've been a pragmatic, liberal, and mostly active force in the Assembly sice then. Even as Atlasia has its struggles, the Northeast continues to thrive (2 competitive special Assembly elections, 4 candidates in the gubernatorial election, multiple amendments coming up to vote, etc.), and I hope that this election continues to that tradition.

Of course, I'm open to questions.

[pikachu]

The election is still extremely competitive but we seem to be in a decent spot right now. Thanks to everyone's who has voted for me so far, and I encourage everyone hasn't yet to do so. This is one of the most competitive governor's elections in some time and every vote counts.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

mr governor, these have passed the assembly:

and i believe the binary elimination act has become law due to lack of a signature/veto

[cinyc]

The Residency Amendment doesn't require the Acting Governor's signature.  It will automatically be placed on next month's ballot.

there isn't a vacancy, you're still technically a representative until the special election concludes
