The user currently named Blunderstorm is actually Beef, who is registered in Wisconsin, not Minnesota.  His vote is invalid, although he will have the asterisk removed from his name in the registration lists because he attempted to vote.

It is not my job to judge the validity of votes in the Regional elections, but his vote there is certainly invalid.  He is not registered in the Midwest region, changing avatar does not change registration.  Even if he did register in Minnesota, he would be doing so during the election.

I don't expect my vote to count, but I was kinda hoping that the Midwest Region would be close enough that my attempted vote would be the cause of a protracted legal battle amongst the candidates.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that I control a rather large share of Court TV of Atlasia.

According to a Latin dictionary granum,-i n. means seed also. Its not grain though since grain is frumentum,-i n.

Eh?

I used (probably bad) Latin-English/English-Latin dictionary online.  It's supposed to say 'Grain is good.'
