Department of Federal Elections: Homelycooking, SoFE

[homelycooking]

I appreciate the work, but independent counts by myself and Adam Griffin show me getting 8 first preferences... Is it possible you miscounted? Or was one of those ballots invalidated?

Thanks.

There are three four invalid ballots at this point. One of them is Futurepres' - he doesn't meet the federal activity requirement. That reduces your total count of 1st preferences to seven.

[homelycooking]

I must apologize for the confusion about activity requirements. I myself thought the requirement was 15 posts in 8 weeks until I was informed otherwise during the election - not the first time I've had bad information from the Wiki. If the "Anti-Zombie Act" is still in effect, then I must enforce and uphold the law, ballot language notwithstanding. There is not much of a remedy I can provide here if it requires me to violate that law.

MAROKAI BLUE, HAGRIDOFTHEDEEP, BACON KING, CLARENCE and NVTOWNSEND are duly elected Senators for Atlasia at-large.

There was a total turnout of 108 votes, with 7 ballot papers being rejected.

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

[homelycooking]

A special election for the Senate seat vacated by Clarence will be held from September 28-30.

[homelycooking]

The voting booth is open - you know what to do.

[homelycooking]

Wait, JCL is also running, why isn't he on the ballot?

Because I made a mistake. He's on the ballot now.

Unfortunately, I don't think there's any legal remedy for those who have already voted...

[homelycooking]

Jones is right - seven days.

Exhausted 2 (Lewis T., Tweed)
Invalid 2 (Wolfentoad, Ernest)

[homelycooking]

Why is my vote invalid?

You probably weren't registered for 7 days before Friday.

Wolfentoad registered on September 24 - the election began on September 28.

[homelycooking]

So this means Jones wins based off of first preferences?

It would have meant that, yes, but no longer. The past twelve votes have all gone to Franzl in the second round.

Exhausted 2 (Lewis T., Tweed)
Invalid 2 (Wolfentoad, Ernest)

[homelycooking]

Technically, I wasn't even properly registered at the time, let alone 7 days in advance, so does my vote even merit being considered a vote.  Granted if it be a vote, it be invalid; not that it would affect the outcome even if some delirium affected Homelycooking and he treated it as valid, since it was cast for a non-Atlasian.

I count it as an invalid vote because it has to be somehow classified. You cast a vote (ballot no. 48) and there is tangible evidence of that vote. Though you were improperly registered, I can't delete it, and so it has to be "counted".

FRANZL is duly elected Senator for Atlasia at-large.

There was a total turnout of 91 votes, with 2 ballot papers being rejected.

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

[homelycooking]

I feel the need to apologize again for my mistake. It really was an unacceptable one, and I felt tremendously guilty for having made such a stupid blunder. Atlasia has every right to be furious with me. All that I can say in my defense is that I have made mistakes in almost every election, and I made another one here, in spite of my best intentions and efforts. This is a difficult and a time-consuming job, and sometimes in my efforts to perfect the details of an election I make a thoughtless error.

I will resign if the people have lost confidence in my ability to administer an election, or if the President wishes to fire me for my mistake. Otherwise, I am prepared to defend my Department in court (again) if need be and work all the harder to serve the people better in the upcoming presidential election.

Notice to the SoFE

Executive Order

In all future federal elections, the election administrator shall be required to post a sample ballot at least 24 hours in advance, to ensure the validity of the ballot and raise awareness for the upcoming election.

Fair enough. The one time that I neglected to post a sample ballot, I paid the price. A little bit of legal "reinforcement" is just the thing needed here.

What's "Far Left", "Regionalist", and "Centrist"? Are they lumpings of the Tweedist gang, the Bloc/MCPR, and the moderate heroes?

"Far left" is the Washburnist Socialist Revolutionary Party, the Communist Party of Atlasia, the Earth Liberation Party and the Mustafina National Front.

"Regionalist" is just the Imperial Bloc. The MCPR never ran a candidate in a nationwide election.

"Centrist" represents the Moderate Party and various unaffiliated center-left and center-right candidates. It's not a really meaningful category - just think of it as "other".

MCPR is disbanded, but I have no idea where TPP goes etc. Please go back to the old names

If TPP starts running its own candidates, it will get its own column in the table.

[homelycooking]

How do you count the Rally for the Republic?

I don't, because you haven't run for nationwide office in the time period summarized by the table, as far as I remember.
