Back in my day, we had close senate races. I think people just suck at campaigning I guess.

Those were fun times. Like the time I was going up against Al to replace you. That was a squeaker for me.

The problem is top tier candidates won't challenge each other in regional Senate elections. We need to get out this "I want to run, but I respect you too much to challenge you" mentality.

Another problem not present in at-large seats!

What I'm saying is that regional seats would be fine if it weren't for that. In other words, ideally it would be as it is now minus the mentality I stated above.

You can't just legislate that mentality out of existence, though.

Earl, if you need help updating the voter rolls, I'm more then willing to help you.

Thanks. A special election will need to be had.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Is it reasonable to expect a certification of the results by the time we need to be sworn in?

No, the election must wait after the appeal.

What appeal? Rowan's appeal has nothing to do with the october elections.

re-certified

[bgwah]

Would Einzige's vote really be invalidated instead of just counted as NOTA?

I count it as voting twice, since I consider X = 1

Earl, I was updating the Wiki results. But when calculating the percents, I noticed that you have 102 votes in the first round and 105 votes in the second round?

So, will we have an updated voter list by Thursday's election, Mr. SoFA?

[MaxQue]

Will you do your job, or we have to ask the President to dismiss you?

[cinyc]

We're going to need a  breakdown of number of registered voters in the Northeast as of midnight next Friday, as well, so that we know how many Northeast Representatives we need to elect.
