I think he meant eastern standard time on Friday, but it wasn't exactly clear.

I had meant to open the booth about 12 hours ago, but I forgot, so it's now open for business.  Cast your ballots.

So it closes on Sunday at 11:38:21 A.M. EDT?

I'm going to close it at noon.

The balloting is now closed.  The Mikado has been confirmed as Lt. Governor by a vote of 6-0, while Inks and HappyWarrior have been elected to the Senate.  Since Hashemite cannot take office, I will announce whom I will appoint to the third seat soon.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I did not count Al's ballot.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I did not count Al's ballot.

Is the Mideast Government pursuing charges under the Mideast Campaining in Voting Booths Statute?

No.

I did not count Al's ballot.

For what reasons?

Al didn't campaign in the voting booth. He did not name any one person directly, either.

However, he wasn't clear as to his third choice.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Fine, then in order to prove it was me, I am claiming the write-in vote cast by Al.  It will be counted to me, since I'm the first to claim it.  If he protests, he was referring to me.  If he doesn't protest, then he voted for me.

So, my appointement of Franzl is null?

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Can we just re-vote?

That's what we need to do. However, it seems that Ben is just conveniently avoiding addressing that issue.

Obviously.

Hardly.  I'll open a voting booth in a second, with balloting to start at midnight.  This election will be done correctly.

Why are we revoting?  Just appoint Franzl.  There's nothing wrong with these results.

We're revoting because the wrong system was used in the original election.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I'm officially certifying the results: due to errors in voting, no candidates are elected, and I will appoint 3 members soon.
