District Four Run-off Jabbering Thread

[Niles Caulder]

Since I wasn't effective in warding off non-ballot posts, I'll submit this thread for the utility of anyone who has observations and opinions on the voting in progress!

Allow me to start the dialogue.

"The time has come, my little friends, to talk of other things,
Of ships and shoes and ceiling wax, cabbages and kings,
And why the sea is boiling hot, and whether pigs have wings,
Calloo-Calay, we'll seize the day---with  cabbages and kings!"

Yes, I have a question for the court members, not they will answer it, but... If Harry had challenged the validity of Kodratos's vote, would it have held up? If that vote had been disqulaified, Harry would have won.

Whats so sad about this run-off is...Josh didn't campaign and Harry did...

PB did all the campaigning for him.

That's what happens when the whole electorate is blatantly partisan. There becomes no real need for campaigning.

This was one of the reasons I didn't want to run against you. The left wingers seemed to have a safe majority in that district to the point where I had almost no hope of winning. Your eventual victory against RReagan4ever only reinforces this notion.

That's not entirely true. If Bullmoose had showed up, (He might have actually been a swing voter), Reagan would have won.

I did all the campaigning for Josh, and I said what he would have had he chosen to run a more vigorous campaign.

I didn't know Harry campaigned.

Thanks to Niles for getting the ball rolling on this election for me.  I have taken care of my academic emergencies- had to pull an all nighter, which I haven't done since I was an undergrad.  Anyways I'm back on the job here in the forum, and I'll be able to close out the election at midnight tonight.

So, district 4, are you guys going to vote or what?  Last I checked only 6 people had voted, 16 of you voted in the first election.  And we have another tie so far at 3-3.  Somebdy break the tie, please?  We don't want another one!

Actually with Htmldons vote, Harry's in the lead 4-3.

No problemo, Senior Secretario.  Los llaves estan con Usted.

The point of the run-off election is supposed to be, people who neglected to vote in the first election can break the tie.  In this case, the tie will be broken because people who did vote in the first one, didnt vote in the run-off.

Kinda sad, I think...

One interesting twist on this run-off though...Htmldon voted for Harry.  In the original election, he voted for Josh (after WalterMitty).  If he had just voted for Harry the first time, we wouldn't need to be having this run-off.

Also sort of like what happens in real run-off elections.
