Was ECR actually a valid voter? I didn't think he had enough posts, regardless of the ban.

He made tons of posts in February after his "return". I double checked him.

He had 23 posts in the past 2 months. I thought 25 was the requirement.

I know it doesn't change the results, I'm just picky about this sort of thing!

15 in 8 weeks.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Was it changed back to 15? I remember we made it 25 in the last 8 weeks awhile back but alot of people wanted to repeal that.

[Franzl]

I don't personally remember it going to 25... But I don't doubt your word, Marokai. Couldn't find anything when I just looked about 25 posts being necessary. Does anyone know what it really is?

It repealed a law that lowered it to 15, moving the standard back to 25.

[Franzl]

And sure it didn't go back to 15 at some point since 2009? I hate it when my memory fails me...

I'm fairly sure it's remained at 25 but alot of people have talked about wanting to repeal that since it passed. (I think even I mentioned it once.) But I think it's still in effect.

[Franzl]

OK, I apologize for the error then

The certification will be adjusted to discount ECR's vote. (After I take one last look...I feel like 15 is "right"....facts=bad! )

Thanks Marokai.

Also, are you sure I didn't get 12 votes? I have:

realisticidealist, jfern, Ebowed, DrScholl, Antonio V, oakvale, phknrocket1k, Alcon, Fuzzybigfoot, ArchangelZero, bgwah, Ogre Mage

or was one of them invalid?

[bgwah]

Also, gporter got at least 2 votes, didn't he? (himself + freepcrusher)

[Franzl]

Gporter was certainly ineligible because of activity, even using the 15 minimum. I'll look into the matter tomorrow because I'm going to bed now. Nobody needs to worry, though, I'm reasonably sure it won't change any outcomes.

Yeah, Ogre Mage doesn't meet the activity requirement either way. 11 is correct. I'll post a full list of disqualified votes tomorrow, in case anyone is wondering. (The file's on my computer...I'm on my phone right now.)

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

At-Large Senate seat. It will open up on March 4th, the day Dallasfan and I swear in (and also my birthday, as well as Clay's)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

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.

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.

[Franzl]

Interestingly, it appears I was in the Senate and voted for the change from a 15 minimum to a 25 minimum

Should I be worried about my memory?

[Franzl]

OK, I've caught 3 voters that need to be disqualified because of the 25 minimum. ECR, Barnes and Jedi.
