FRANZL ELECTION TRACKER (updated as of 7:09 pm, THURSDAY)

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Why do I get the feeling that the DA violently beat us to death with shovels?

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I wonder how adjusting for new voters will affect the results.

[Associate Justice PiT]

I'm surprised Marokai is doing so well given the incident Tuesday.

I'd be more surprised if anybody changed their vote because of it.

     If anything he probably got sympathy votes from it.

[Associate Justice PiT]

What incident?

     I accused him of intimidating another candidate into throwing the election.

It's not the thing itself that I thought would cost him the election, I thought it was how he handled it, which was not good.

     He handled it about as well as one could be expected to handle an out-of-the-blue accusation.

[Associate Justice PiT]

The result thus far is no surprise to me, although a few individuals were sort of disappointing.

It looks like one of your votes are invalid, as well. (Specifically: Mint's)

what is wrong with mint's?

Voting booth rules state to be an eligible voter you have to registered on or before the 26th. Mint registered on the 28th.

     That's odd. Atlasian law states that you need only have registered at least a week before the scheduled opening of the voting booth. That would allow Mint to vote.

I was under the impression it was 10 days.

     Nobody wiki'd this amendment, but I am certain it passed. I'm looking for the tracker thread to determine that for a fact.

     EDIT: The tracker thread.

[Associate Justice PiT]

I can't believe no one bothered to wiki that, no wonder there's been such confusion over the restrictions on voting.

     The last amendment wiki'd was over a year ago. The amendment to eliminate the budget has also not been wiki'd & that was passed last July.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     DUKEMENTUM!

[Associate Justice PiT]

Marokai is leading 31-16 in a two-candidate race against Duke.

It's virtually impossible for him to lose anymore with the number of votes that have already been cast.

     Yeah, I'm trying to keep the morale high over here.

     WE CAN STILL WIN THIS!

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I'd like to point out that we have 51 voters so far. The last special election drew 49 voters.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Bumping this to keep it on the first page. I'm interested to see how the amendment voting pans out.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Is JewishConservative eligible to vote in this election?  You know, the ten-day thing.

      JewishConservative has been registered since June 4th.

Got changed to seven days, didn't it? Anyways, cutoff is calculated from the real voting booth, not the absentee thing.

     Correct, it was changed. Also, this reminds me that once SPC was absent for two months & came back right after the absentee voting booth was opened. He got 15 posts before the regular voting booth opened & was able to cast a valid vote.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I think Barnes's vote is also valid. The voting booth instructions say that you must be a valid registered voter before or on June 11th. As of 10:45 PM EST on June 11th, he had registered in Atlasia & had obtained 25 posts.

A curious situation. Did he properly register once he obtained 25 posts? Or does that not matter?

     No. I do not know if there is any precedent for someone registering before reaching 25 posts & then reaching it. I would be inclined to say it counts, as ExplodingClowns's registration was counted, even though he only had 4 posts & never reached 25. I guess that members are allowed to register at any time, but cannot have their votes counted until they reach 25 posts.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Look here. Andy Jackson voted, but you cannot see his post in the thread. This voting booth must be cursed.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Bacon King was the 15th voter & Andy Jackson was the 30th. Basically the voting booth eats every vote that begins a new page.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Bacon King was the 15th voter & Andy Jackson was the 30th. Basically the voting booth eats every vote that begins a new page.

That is very concerning. I think anyone who has any concerns over his or her vote should PM a quote of their vote to the SOFA until the problem is rectified.

Any thought's on that?

     Sounds good. We also need to be vigilant in following the voting, so we can notice if any votes go missing.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Bacon King's vote is there, did he re-vote, or did it magically re-appear again?

     Based on the timestamp, it re-appeared.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     What happens if Andy Jackson's original vote reappears?

     EDIT: Also, is there any specific text saying that Gustaf's vote wouldn't count? The voting booth instructions do not mention voting twice in the same booth. Since it was within 20 minutes, it could be interpreted as a legal edit (albeit one that did not actually change anything).

[Associate Justice PiT]

Weird.

And why did Gustaf vote twice? His vote(s) won't count.

Maybe, his first one did show up when he posted it to start with and then he posted another one. Not sure, but just guessing.

     That seems likely to be the case, seeing as how they are only a minute apart.

[Associate Justice PiT]

Well, if Gustaf vote does not count, then why does Bacon Kings count? He has two voting post in the voting booth?

     No, actually. His original post reappeared for some reason.

     No, actually. His original post reappeared for some reason.

The same thing could have happen to Gustaf. That is why I said we should ask him why he posted it twice. Just trying to be fair.

     I'm sure we could, though we have multiple eyewitness accounts of Bacon King's post's fate. Same for Andy Jackson, & Andy Jackson was allowed to repost it. As far as I know there was no eyewitness acount of Gustaf's first post going missing.

[Associate Justice PiT]

This is confusing; I had just assumed the first post didn't submit or something.

     I would agree that this has so far proved to be a very inauspicious election.
