Federal Election Tracker (FINAL RESULT)

[Associate Justice PiT]

I knew the Pacific Senate would be brutal....but wow.

     The JCP really came out swinging though, so it might tighten up later.

The JCP tends to disappear until election day, and then they vote in droves.

     Even then they don't show up unless there's something worth voting in.

     Knowing the Midwest, it will either be GMantis or TCash. I'll be very surprised if Jedi can win it.

     Northeast I don't know enough about to say, though I'd guess Eraserhead has the advantage now (though I don't know if he's accepted his write-ins yet).

[Associate Justice PiT]

Well as long as MasterJedi and Smid win, the RPP will the first party I can remember to hold half the senate seats.  Add in Al's open one and we may be looking at 6 if you can believe it

The Democratic Party had 7 seats in the First Senate back in 2004

     Didn't the NLC control 5 after the June 2008 elections?

President

[ x ] bgwah/VP Meeker [meekermariner]
Jesus Christ Party/Silver Regional Protection Party


Northeast Senator

[ x ] Write-in: Smid

Another vote for Bgwah from such an active member in Atlasia!

     I'm surprised that Phil voted for Smid though, given his recent track record of voting for leftists.

     Senate races seem more exciting this time than they did last time.

Um. Apparently Eraserhead is registered in Montana. My bad. Can he still be Northeast Senator if he wins or what?

     I think that if he moves to the Northeast in time to swear in it's not a problem, though that would need to be looked into.

     HOWEVER, it does mean that he can't vote for himself in the election, meaning Smid is still leading 5-4.

No legally relevant difference between his situation and MasterJedi's, anyhow. Meaning that either candidate is ineligible under the Candidate Regulations, it's just that we haven't a clue whether the SoFA will obey them or what courts will say about the issue if his decision is challenged.
(Obviously, if he doesn't move then he's ineligible. Oh yeah, I need to look up the verdict in that one Sam Spade case, that might indirectly touch on the issue as well.)

     I noticed that too. However, a write-in candidate can declare any time up until the end of voting. The question would be when must a write-in candidate meet the requirements for eligibility according to the candidate regulations?
