THESE RESULTS ARE NOT YET OFFICIAL. THEY WILL BE MADE OFFICIAL TOMORROW, ONCE THEY HAVE HAD TIME FOR PUBLIC REVIEW.

[homelycooking]

There have been at least three runningmates listed alongside Tweed and all those votes for Tweed counted.

Please provide some evidence for this claim. My review of the ballots has not turned up anything which would support it.

[homelycooking]

One Tweed led ticket was Tweed/Bgwah

It's the official ticket. Most voters chose that one.

a second Tweed led ticket was with Belgansocialist,

I am aware of only opebo voting that ticket. My mistake there was fixed on Friday.

the third runningmate was Bald Mother er.

And do you know who that is?

Is Napoleon's Senate vote valid even though he changed regions?

Good catch, Scott. It does not count. Let me fix that.

Election	Northeast	Southeast	Mideast	Midwest	Pacific	TOTAL

06/22 Presidential	65.91	64.00	72.41	60.87	68.18	65.97

Turnout declined quite a bit from the February presidential election, though the Pacific had its highest turnout of the year.

[homelycooking]

It's a percentage.

[homelycooking]

Why isn't my Senate vote being counted?

You became a Mideast citizen on June 21:

Napoleon
Liberal Party
Wisconsin

and you voted for Northeast Senate on June 24.

[homelycooking]

I was following what the Constitution says, even though I find its a silly rule.

Article 5, section 2, subsection 3? You're right, it's an awful rule. But your vote should be counted in the Northeast election anyway.

Makes me wonder what other election rules I don't know about...

There was a total turnout of 95 votes, with 1 ballot paper being rejected.

I, Homelycooking, Secretary of Federal Elections, declare the above results to be a complete and accurate summary of the votes cast.

[homelycooking]

Oh, great. I am in the enviable position of having to defend my office against a frivolous lawsuit brought by a scheming usurper with no respect for democracy. Honestly, I think I've already lost - the Supreme Court granted cert for this charade. If they thought that this case merited hearings before the court, then I can't stop them from ruling in Tweed's favor.

Does anyone have a case of whiskey I could "borrow" for the week while the case drags on?

[homelycooking]

Would you like some calvados, homely?

Leave the ----ing bottle.

[homelycooking]

I still haven't seen an answer to this, of course I didn't check page 20 but I doubt it is in there.

HOMELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Y U got me listed on Indy on the ballot?

I apologize for the oversight, but at least you can take heart in the fact that it didn't hurt your electoral chances this past weekend. Remind me, what percentage of the vote did you get?

[homelycooking]

The battle is joined.

[homelycooking]

The Supreme Court has rendered its decision.

Ah, it's nice to have that little charade over with.

[homelycooking]

The Secretary of Federal Elections will be on vacation from Saturday, July 28, 2012 until Saturday, August 18, 2012. He will have no access to the Internet at any time between those two dates.
However, he will, of course, be available to administer the August 2012 Federal Election beginning on Friday, August 24, 2012.

[homelycooking]

A current list of Senate candidates currently eligible to be placed on the ballot:

Well, shit.

I declare that the Whig Party primary shall be held on 9 September, 2012. Shall I have the right to have the primary, as the Whig Party is an official major party of Atlasia, posted on the elections board, and reviewed by the SoFE?

I don't think you have that right, unless there's some statute I'm overlooking. I'd prefer that you not post it on the elections board (I think it should be reserved for official, nonpartisan government business). I'd be happy to count the election for you, but I will not do it in an official capacity.

FWIW, the last primary I recall was a Democratic Alliance primary for the Mideast Senate seat, and it was held on the elections board.

This was before my time, I think? Anyway, if there's a statute permitting this, or if the Senate wants to pass a new law, fine. But otherwise I would ask Simfan not to hold his primary there - though I won't stop him if he insists on it anyway. I have a preference, but it's really not that important to me.

REPUBLIC OF ATLASIA - In Dave We Trust
Preliminary Ballot

This election is held in accordance with Article V of the Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.  The regular election begins at 23:59 EDT, Thursday, August 23, and ends at 23:59 EDT, Sunday, August 26.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign. The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. In short, the department will be taking a liberal interpreation of this, so Keep posts to votes only.

Place the numbers 1, 2, etc. in the space provided beside the candidates who you wish to vote for to designate your order of preference for these candidates.  If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Forum Affairs will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 15 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list, you can presume you are eligible.  

In the event that you do not support any listed candidate or that you support one or many candidates that are not listed in addition to those that are, you may write in other candidates and include them in your list of preferences.  Space is provided for one such write-in, but as many can be listed as you wish.  In the event that you do not support any listed candidate, and do not wish to write in any candidate, you may place an X or a 1 beside "None of the above", and only beside "None of the above".  In the event that an X or a 1 appears beside "None of the above" on a ballot, all other marks or numbers will be ignored.  It is not permissible under current election law to vote for both "None of the above" and other candidates.

Note that voting begins at midnight and ends in exactly 72 hours.

Names of candidates follow in alphabetical order.

Aw, endorsements aren't included on the ballot this time?

Sorry, Scott, no more endorsements. I've decided that allowing endorsements clutters up the ballot and makes the official ballot excessively partisan. (Besides, yours is the only party so far to submit endorsements - and you're already running three candidates of your own!)

Could I get mine as "SJoyceFla"? It seems a bit more professional.

Yes, of course.

[homelycooking]

Our party name is Национа́льное движе́ние «Алия́ Муста́фина», or National Movement "Aliya Mustafina".

Unless you would prefer the original Russian, I'll put your English translation on the ballot.
