Concerning the tied election

[Bacon King]

All y'all were arguing with each other about why your side won but Bacon King here decided to actually look at the law to see who won!

Neither candidate won! The word of the law says in quite clear terms we are supposed to have a runoff! That is what happens when the preference count ends with a tie between two candidates who are tied for the same number of highest preference votes.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I am billing Atlasia $500 per hour for my services as an attorney and the clock will keep going until the runoff happens

[Wisconsin+17]

Strangely, I find myself in agreement with Bacon King. A runoff! A runoff! Let the people speak again!

[Ebsy]

Honestly incredible.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Why must these constant runoffs plague us

[Wisconsin+17]

This has to be the most incredible presidential election ever.

First you have TM dropping out.

The Federalists scrape up a candidate at the last minute, stuffing in Yankee.

Then it comes to a tie.

You left out the part where I got injured at work and had to visit the ER just four days after getting in and two days before Hurricane Matthew knocked out my internet for five days and nearly flooded us out.

Don't forget the craziness of the Southern Senate election.

And TM was in an excellent position to win the election.

It is unfortunate that he found it necessary to drop out of the election as a candidate for President.

For future elections, there should really be some sort of tie-breaker to prevent, as much as possible, it going to a run-off. I guess that's something for Congress to do in their next terms.

Just to confirm, the run-off won't include write-ins?

Yes the only votes that are cast for Blair and NCY will be counted as valid.

Good. That'll hopefully make things less confusing...

[windjammer]

Why not modifying the constitution, and making the House elect the president and the senate the vice president in case of a tie?

[Blair]

The funny thing is the election law if we tie the runoff

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

This is silly. Do we really need a runoff which would only eat taxpayers dollars?

As a neutral part, I'm available to serve as the Martial Law Administrator for this term.

Well, that should be fun.

[jamestroll]

lol, you guys take this stuff way to seriously.

But I will be happy to vote in the run off.

[GAworth]

There were three tickets being voted on. Unless the second preferences of the third ticket split perfectly, I don't understand why everyone is freaking about a tie.

Btw, if someone point out I'm not a citizen I have an precedent for you: Prince Louis Napoleon was elected President of the French Republic in 1848 without actually being a French citizen.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I'm here to assume the presidency should that be necessary.

I think the issue was that in certain elections in the past, if it's tied then a tie-break has been to count how many Yankee voters put Blair as a preference and vice versa. The most second preferences at this stage would win the election.

I'm here to assume the presidency should that be necessary.

The GM should simulate the position until there's someone to fill it.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I was the first one to declare, so beat it.

[Enduro]

Maybe the president should fill the position until there's a new one?
