Damn it, missed the deadline. For what its worth:

For the NLC's nomination for the Presidency...
[1] Ernest (NLC-NE)
[2] Mr. Moderate (NLC-NE)

[Verily]

The results of this election are as follows:

Mr. Moderate: 6 first-preferences (Mr. Moderate, Franzl, Hashemite, Frodo, Rockefeller Republican, AndrewCT)
Ernest: 5 first-preferences (Ernest, Hughento, Bacon King, Peter, bullmoose88)
Benconstine: 0 first-preferences

With a majority of first preference votes, Mr. Moderate is selected as the NLC's official candidate for the Presidency. Congratulations to both candidates for a well-run campaign.

Mr. Chairman,

Just wondering, incase Colin Wixted had voted earlier and the NLC Primary resulted in a tie between Ernest and Mr. Moderate what would have happened next? There would be no point in IRV voting, as either candidate placed the next NLC candidate second, so that rules out the idea of that system of voting in the Primary.

I thank the NLC for the endorsement.  I concur that my opponent has run a great campaign, and I certainly encourage all my supporters to second preference Justice Ernest on their general election ballots.

We would have held a run-off, as is done on the federal level in the case of a tie.

Which maybe our esteemed Chairman would have voted in.
