From the new RG's spreadsheet. And due to the wording in the Constitution, I rounded down for all of them.

[Adam Griffin]

Hmm, you're counting 10 more people in the game than I did, and I thought I was very sure to include people who have recently registered. My count was done a few days ago, but I had:

37 - Western
39 - Southern   
45 - Northeastern

For a total of 121 people. It's possible I missed someone(s) or a state.

I can PM you my spreadsheet if you want me to, this is including all new registers including evergreen, what day did you calculate these numbers

Edit: I notice the last official update showed 121 people, that does not include any new registers from May 9th onward which I have added to the roll, we have also had no more deregister since the last update.

I could have sworn that I added in the people from May 1 until about May 15 or so (when I made my thread outlining the schedule), but perhaps I forgot them (I did two counts). I'd like to see the sheet, yes.

[Adam Griffin]

Yeah, it appears that when I did my second count, I forgot to include the people who had registered between May 2 and May 16. My bad.

[tmthforu94]

Just take Griffin's version - cutting it down to one seat makes it a competition.

[rpryor03]

ModerateVAVoter's vote is discounted for not having had 10 posts in the last 8 weeks.

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Evergreen and Dkrol ballots are not valid, because they registered less then a week before the election
 

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

i will, of course, be challenging the results in court if my vote (and/or dkrol's) is not counted. and unrivaled legal expert bacon king has confirmed that i would be in the right.

Article I, Section 4 of the New Constitution states:
"Section 4. The right of citizens of the Republic of Atlasia to vote shall not be denied, except in regards to persons whose account is fewer than 168 hours old, or in consequence of failing to meet such requirements for activity as may be established by law."

The question then becomes whether the existing 7-day rule is an activity requirement.  I think there's a good arguement that it is, but it could go either way.  The provisions of current law also apply to the regional committee elections, so if the 7-day rule is an activity requirement, your vote is invalid.

Account could also be read to mean your Atlasia account, not your forum account.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

i'd rather not argue in this thread, but either of those interpretations would be an enormous stretch, at best.

[tmthforu94]

I side with Evergreen's viewpoint, but like they said, let the courts decide!

[rpryor03]

I've been informed by the Presiding Officer of the Constitutional Convention and it's chief architect that: "Per Article X, the Fourth Constitution will not take effect until after the seating of the new Congress; therefore, all regulations set in place by the Third Constitution remain valid."

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

also an enormous stretch. that may have been the intention, but it is not what the text itself says.

[windjammer]

My first court case?

Their are only 9 people elected for Congress

[rpryor03]

You are right, my mistake. I'll fix it in the voting booth thread.

[DKrol]

I recognize my vote as invalid and would not join evergreen in a judicial challenge.

[Kingpoleon]

Just to be clear, is my vote for Regional Committeeman being cast out/invalid for quoting Enduro's?

I meant to use his as a reference, as the OP is rather long, and then after the twenty minutes rule was up I realized I forgot to delete it afterwards.

I'm no expert, but I believe this sort of thing has happened in the past and the vote has been counted.

[rpryor03]

I'm OK with that, Kingpoleon.

[rpryor03]

As there were five seats in the west with five candidates, I declare the Western Regional Committee to be, in no particular order: 1184AZ, LumineVonReuental, Rpryor03, Republitarian, tedbessell.

As there were seven seats in the north with seven candidates, I declare the Northern Regional Committee to be, in no particular order: Blair2015, cinyc, darthebearnc, evergreen, Harry S Truman, Kingpoleon, RGN08.

The following votes were declared invalid: evergreen, dkrol.

I, Rpryor03, Secretary of Federal Elections, declare the above results to be a complete and accurate summary of the votes cast.

[rpryor03]

NEVERAGAIN is elected Southern Committeeman.
NORTH CAROLINA YANKEE is elected Southern Committeeman.
TMTHFORU94 is elected Southern Committeeman.
LEINAD is elected Southern Committeeman.
ADAM GRIFFIN is elected Southern Committeeman.

The following vote was declared invalid: ModerateVAVoter.

I, Rpryor03, Secretary of Federal Elections, declare the above results to be a complete and accurate summary of the votes cast.

[Senator Cris]

What's the deadline for the Senate elections?
