Presiding Officer Voting Booth

[Smid]

As I mentioned, I accepted the nomination because I think I could do a good job, but I think the other two could likewise do a good job. I therefore cast my vote:

1. Purplestate
2. Afleitch
3. Smid.

While I like Smid and second pref'ed him, people need to remember he has a giant proposal of his own. PS is entirely unbiased.

This is the predominant reason I voted myself last and also why I suggested that a non-delegate may make a good PO.

[Smid]

PS is impartial. Smid is fantastic and so is his idea so to have him contribute without the need to be 'impartial' is preferable.

Precisely my thought - that PS as PO would allow me to contribute without trying to act as an impartial chair.

The interesting thing about this election is that one candidate can't vote for himself and the other two candidates didn't vote for themselves (and indeed, both voted for the candidate who can't vote).

Congratulations on your election PS. I think you have much to contribute and I'm glad you're able to take an active role in the Convention.
