The Mideast Record-Courier: LIVE Coverage of the October '16 Election

[Pragmatic Conservative]

Just a note that a few of the votes in the South are actually ineligible and thus the Federalists actually have a 2 vote lead right now in both races.

Thanks - I'll adjust the numbers in the next update. Who are the invalid voters?

TDAS (Fremont), Alex (not registered), and Steelers (hasn't posted often enough), I think.

The above plus ZuWo (hasn't posted often enough)

Does the South have it's own election rules (because I'm 95% sure the Federal Election won't apply; as its technically a regional office)

No the South does not have its own rules.

For people who aren't citizens of the South, I think the regional constitution is fairly clear that they wouldn't count. 

There probably isn't a posting requirement though (I'm opposed to posting requirements anyway).

I'm pretty sure Siren is correct here. Per Article III, Section 4 of the Constitution, senatorial elections are regulated and administered by the Regions, which suggests that federal activity requirements would not apply. However, since TDAS and Alex are invalid due to citizenship requirements (neither is registered to vote in the South), removing the activity requirement does not effect the outcome of the election.

How does this effect the vote totals?

The two votes that would be valid now are offsetting, so the margin stays the same.
