Federal Election Law

Above is a few pages I've put together on the wiki that give a guide to election law as it presently stands. The last one isn't finished yet.

The only close races are D3 and D4, and interestingly they might be close enough to send us to extra innings. Anybody got up to date figures?

Its in the voting booth, where nothing needs to be stickied because it won't fall that far down.

There'll be low turnout in D2, there are a few reasons for this:

1. PBrunsel is unopposed and therefore there's been nothing of a GOTV drive, nor are people rushing to the polls to see their candidate across the line.
2. Naso basically got a load of inactives to vote last time, many of whom would otherwise been deleted. This basically has created a dead district effect where only about half (or less) of the electorate are active enough to knows there an election.

Interestingly, both Patrick1 and Smash255 are regsitered with defunct parties (Republicans and Democrats respectively), if either actually followed fantasy politics at all, they would undoubtedly have re-registered by now. This is in stark contrast to somebody like 9iron, who whilst not participating heavily, clearly does follow this because he changed his registration to ACA almost immediately.

EDIT:
Curiously, Jens (Rhode Island) is also a member of a defunct party, i.e. the United Left.

Another Republican just voted, TN2024.

I see that D3 is this election's D3.

[Peter]

For the record, Phil has admitted to recruiting patrick1 to vote in TS.

It would appear that NixonNow did not ask for any votes other than the one he previously mentioned.

[Peter]

Patrick1 is active though, TN2024 is a borderline troll though.

Patrick1 may be active elsewhere in the forum, but I do question whether somebody who is still registered as a Republican really actually knows whats going on in Atlasia.

I apply the same standards to anybody registered with other defunct parties such as the Democrats (Smash) and the UL (Jens).

[Peter]

If you are intending to become active in fantasy politics I suggest you register with a party that isn't totally defunct.

Quote wars are unnecessary. If it is necessary to quote the previous post, please minimise to just that post or the last two.
