Wow, great turnout for the Pacific!

hmm, your numbers are completely different then Afferoes.

Avorres' #'s were posted at 1 AM on Saturday.

Why is Poirot's vote listed twice?

In light of these complications, I would like to move to suspend certification as long as these issues remain. I would also deem a recount in order. I am willing to file suit for this to happen.

I must disagree, NcYankee did vote late. I realize DST was in effect but regardless it was already closed. And OAM's vote had you in the last preference while I held second (although if I was tied with Ernest there would be a different problem.

Ruling from Chief Justice KEmperor on Akno21 v. Fritz:

For any vote to be valid, there must be no doubt as to the intent of the voter.

I'm not sure whether this ruling has been superseded by subsequent law (according to the wiki, it has not been), but this seems to suggest that OAM's ballot should not be counted.

I would concur except for the fact that me and Simfan were not both preferenced in 2nd and it is clear that I was above him  (2nd is higher than 5th). If him and I had both received 2nd preference then the vote would be invalid but we didn't. The intent is clear and I intend to argue against this. Also, this case was on the fact that 1 voter combined 2 names under a single preference and did not separately preference them as OAM did. I must reaffirm this statement: I is clear I was preferenced above Simfan.

Also I would be reluctant to go to court because, as homelycooking stated, the Senate will be absent 1 member for quite some time which I think is unacceptable.

Governor, with all due respect, the idea of shutting the door on a contested matter for the sake of expediency is simply ludicrous. If we were to abide by such ideas, then our whole idea of justice would be reduced to farce- let us not forget the saying "the wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind finely."

Even so, you ignored my original argument. I was preferenced 2nd here and you were preferenced 5th. I simply was stating that a court battle could turn this very messy.

It isn't ludicrous to give Atlasians an active government and for you to say that I must argue is ridiculous. I realize you believe that I'm stated that for my own political benefit but I truly did have Atlasian intentions in mind as it may also delay Snowstalker taking office as well.

Even so, I stand by my statement. There is no doubt about OAM's Ballot. I was 2nd, he was 5th. The only other cases in which this ballot ought to be thrown out are ones where 2 candidates are tied and are also the same preference on the ballot.

Did Spamage officially pull out of the Pacific Senate race?

Did now.
