I'll second that motion, for convenience.  Hearing no objection, it is so ordered.

The Northeast Assembly shall stand adjourned until 8:00PM Eastern on Sunday, December 27.  

At that time, pursuant to our obligations under Article IV, Section viii of the New Northeast Constitution, we will take up the issue of who the Assembly will recommend the Governor appoint to the now-vacant Lt. Governorship.  Nominations and discussion of the nominees will be allowed until 8:00PM Eastern on Tuesday, December 29, unless members agree to suspend or extend the debate.  A vote will commence shortly thereafter, and remain open for 24 hours.

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

We stand adjourned.

Welcome back - I hope you all had a good holiday season!

The Northeast Assembly is back in session to discuss who to recommend to fill the Lt. Governor vacancy.  The manner in which we decide (first-past-the-post, PR-STV, some other way) is also open to debate.

For reference, Article IV, Section viii of the New Northeast Constitution states:
Quote
You must be logged in to read this quote.

The debate period will be open until at least 8PM on Tuesday, December 29, unless we otherwise agree to cut off or extend debate pursuant to the SOAP.

The floor is open.

Mr. Speaker, if I may:

I would like to offer forward my recommendation of our former Speaker, Mr. Smid, to Governor Andrew CT for the position of Lt. Governor.

Noted. 

Perhaps we should wait to see if there are more  nominees before deciding what vote count method to use - but does anyone have a preference?

I nominate segwaystyle2012 and I think we should use a single vote system, with no changes once cast.

It probably doesn't matter if there are only two candidates.  We generally haven't allowed vote changes in the Assembly once cast - though that perhaps is due to the fact that no one has changed their vote after it was cast in a meaningful vote.

Mr. Speaker, I have no issues with Rep. Hamilton's voting method proposal, so I'd like to second it.

Now that Antonio V has seconded Smid's nomination, does he really want to be on that ballot - or do Smid and segway style for that matter?

The only problem I have with your voting proposal is that there's no one to break a tie.  If there's a tie, what the heck are we going to do?

In a three-way race, a tie or plurality victory is more likely if we use your plan instead of PR-STV.

In any case, what we do in the case of a tie needs to be thought out.  I suppose we could revote or perhaps send both names.

As to make it clear, I'm not candidate to Lt Governorship and I officially ask not to be on the ballot.

Yeah, sorry.  I'm gonna go ahead and resign.  My return was grand and thanks for the support, but I can't get into this stuff again.  It just doesn't do it for me.

Thank you for your service.  I will inform the governor (if you haven't already) so that he can name your replacement.

The appointment is up to Governor AndrewCT.  You should be telling him this, by PM or in the Governors' office thread.   We in the Assembly have no say about who the governor appoints to fill a vacant Assembly seat.

There's no need to apologize.  The governor simply may not see your interest if it's only expressed on the Assembly thread - that should have been my main point.

With only two declared candidates, the Assembly shall determine who to recommend to the vacant Lt. Governorship in a first-past-the-post vote - so please just vote for one candidate.  No other method was proposed and seconded, so there's no need to put the method to a vote.  As in federal elections, your initial vote can only be edited within the first 20 minutes.  Any vote edited after 20 minutes will be void. 

The vote will be held open until the earlier of 8:00PM on Wednesday, December 30, 2009, or when all 7 sitting Northeast Representatives have voted.



The question shall now be put to a vote:

The Northeast Assembly recommends that Governor AndrewCT appoint the following Northeast citizen Lt. Governor:

[  ]  segwaystyle2012 (GaryJohnson2012)
[  ]  Smid
