Mideast Assembly Elections: July 2013

This is the election to fill the Assembly positions of the Mideast Region. Voting shall begin immediately and end in exactly seventy-two hours. Editing your vote after 20 minutes, voting twice, or campaigning in this thread will make your vote invalid. Any votes cast before the voting opens will not be counted, nor will those votes cast after it closes. Please rank the candidates for Assembly.

Please remember that the time is EST not EDT, so be careful when voting.

Due to the passage of recent legislation, we are now operating under a PR-STV voting system. Please keep that in mind when casting your vote.

These are the results I have. It's a complex matter so if you have valid reasons to dispute these numbers please contact me immediately. A HUGE thank you goes out to TJ - I'm terrible at counting votes in PR/STV elections so he's the one who deserves all credit.
