Dept. of Fed. Elections

[Fritz]

I think this is pretty clear.  Elections for President and Vice-President are elections for a ticket, not individuals for each office.  I tried to get a bill passed when I was a Senator that would seperate the elections for the two offices.  But, it failed.  Thus, a vote for Oakvale/Ogis is a write-in vote that cannot be counted towards the totals for Oakvale/Snowguy, or Ben/Ogis.

I don't know if this has occurred to anyone yet: we now will need to hold a special election to replace Dallasfan in the Senate.

...the Northeast Senate? You mean I could run again?! Oh goodie, I just love campaigning

Its for one of the At-Large seats. Such a special election is extremely difficult as you would basically have do the same thing that tmth just did only for a Senate seat instead of the presidency.

I'm up for it!

You might want to take a look at the October results first... (and this was prior to my being universally hated...)

That was October, now is now. I'm going to campaign rigorously, I'm too determined to give up now.

The JCP has decided who has won all such special elections since late 2008. Look at all of tmth's voters, and ask yourself whether or not you can win all of them, including your best new friend RowanBrandon. Because if you can't, it will be a massacre.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, it is what keeps this game alive. However the spending of such enthusiasm on such pointless endeavours may lead to a decline of such enthusiasm.

Its your decision.

I don't think you should be discouraging people from running.  In the current political climate here, anything is possible.

[Fritz]

Geez, calm down dude. 

I do think anything is possible in this special senate election, at least insofar as which party the winner will belong to.  This may have been a slam-dunk for the JCP in the past, but I don't think that is true anymore.  The right wing will have to run somebody, right?  Sorry if you don't like my stupid cliches.

[Fritz]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fritz]

It will be beyond silly to hold seperate elections.  Do the right thing.

The case dealt with absentee booths, which isn't an issue right now.

[Fritz]

I agree with Antonio.

Might want to change the thread title.....if the election is not until the 23rd, then declarations for President are still open, aren't they?
