Any lawsuits against me

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I've heard people plan to file them, so, I better make clear the events that transpired and anything that will come out.

My actions in the time leading up to "the incident".

I posted absentee ballot due to meeker seemingly being unavailable. I only found out later that meeker was not going to be around for the official election itself. While I had prepared for this eventuality, I had purposfully decided to not prepare too much as doing so would mean, psychologically, that I had locked myself into doing it.

When I did find out, I set out to get basic information. Meeker's thread had election dates and I used that without consulting with the constitution. This is the main source of error that I committed and it is from this error that all others followed. This, my presumption is, will be the key to any court case, and if I understand the law right, this will cost me my job.

I am willing to accept that if it, in turn, makes the votes cast valid.

One person's voluntary non-paid job in a fantasy government is a very small price to pay to ensure that an election, ANY election, "real" or not, is done fairly and validly. I've said before I consider Democracy to be more important than Freedom, and thus is the basis of my above belief. To me, there is nothing more important that voting. I feel guilty for mucking it up, psychologically.

I opened the booth at a time I thought was 4 hours too late.

After others shared their thoughts, I then thought that I had in fact opened it 20 hours too early.

After researching the law, I found out I had opened it on time, but, had it set to end 20 hours too late.

Re-read the above three lines again. This is the key to the "confusion" surrounding this incident.

Due to the confusion, voters only had about 5 to 7 hours notice that the booth would close "20 hours early"

This confusion was added to by the fact that the time I had listed, as closing time, was unconstitutional. This therefore will be the basis for any court claim against me, and it relates above to my error in not actually reading the law until that point in time; 5 to 7 hours until the booth 'closed'.

I wish to clear all of this up to prevent confusion, and to let everyone know that I will not take any lawsuit against me personally. Nor will I be "changing my story". The above is what happened and the above is what I will report to the court.

Thank you

Goodness, I guess going abroad with limited internet access during an election was a bad idea.

I will leave this to the DoFA and courts to clarify.

Drama.
