Because it seems that this race will never end (seeing as the presidential vote looks to have tied twice) I move to hold a new election with new candidates.

Polls closed at midnight right? Using that, I have yankee winning by 2-3, but that's obviously unofficial.

Sorry, I am busy, and will not be available.

I support this, and I will run if the new candidates are unsatisfactory.

1. The election ended long after this petition was started.

2. The election was not tied--the official count has Yankee ahead 62-60, but that is pending several court cases.

3. "I move to hold a new election with new candidates" that's now how any of this works! Tongue

1. No, it ended about 9 hours after I started this thread Wink

2. At the time of posting (iirc) it was tied and I was under the impression that voting ended at midnight like you have as well

3. Yeah

I move to hold a new election with new candidates.

Seconded.  Despite the naysayers, I think interested candidates should declare and begin campaigning.  If the government refuses to hold a new election, I will be happy to open the booth.

Which would be illegitimate and the results voided.

I sincerely hope we're not seeing the start of another idiotic 'coup.'

Relax, please.  The SoFE certifies his victory by disqualifying valid ballots, his running mate presides over the case and finds the certification lawful.  That sounds like a far more idiotic 'coup' than simply holding a new election and giving Atlasians a chance to make their voices heard.

Charges which are currently being handled in court.  Their verdicts on them shall be sufficient.

1. I never planned to run in the first place. I ran when Tmthforu94 left
2. Rpryor was not my first choice, Duke was. But when an opportunity came along to combine our efforts and put up a unified alternative to Blair, I jumped at the chance. Plus Duke is really busy in RL.
Some conspiracy already. But lets keep going
3. As much as crazy statements/votes have happened in the past, it requires a pretty contorted answer to claim that attacking someone with foul language is not an attack. One could have even been moded if it was reported. Last I checked though, attacking a candidate is considering "negative campaigning", or campaigning, which is explicitly prohibited. Non-enforcement in the past doesn't change that. King of like how failure to conduct runoffs with tied second count elections in the past didn't change the need for a runoff this time.
4. We considered them invalid the moment they were cast. It is not like Rpryor went through and said lets find ways to knock out Blair votes, after the election was over.
5. I basically recused myself last week in a message to the Justices, saying I would not participate in decision making related to the election. Whether or not this got buried in their inboxes, I don't know. But I did send it. I also did so in public a few minutes ago.

So your active imagination can be put to rest.

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called "A fraudulently counted Atlasian Presidential Election"

Electric word, "A fraudulently counted Atlasian Presidential Election"
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Dalton, Georgia...
You know the one, Dr. God damn it, Yankee
Instead of asking him how much of your fantasy elections board is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

Cause in this fraudulent fantasy election world
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this fraudulent fantasy election world
You're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
GO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!

How nice the bs narratives have spread around the #Atlasforum crowd with a complete divorce from reality.


Oh but the IRClique is dead, the times have changed. Things are much better now, the conversation has improved. Alas poor Snowguy, the subsequent 72 hours have belied the truth.

No, they obviously won't, because if they were stealing it the Supreme Court would decide that.

So no one needs to swoop in and save the day with some "petition." Tongue

Well, actually, as Secretary of State, the role of acting president would belong to Harry S Truman.
