I am reluctantly bringing this lawsuit because the Constitution of Atlasia must be followed, regardless of the outcome.
Governor Sirnick opened a
voting booth for a special Assembly election, listing Adam Griffin, New_Conservative and SomebodyWhoExists as candidates. However, none of these people are eligible to "be a candidate in an election" because they were not registered to vote in Atlasia "seven days before the earliest possible commencement" of the election, which for Northeast purposes, is between midnight Eastern Standard Time on Thursday and 0001 Eastern Standard Time on the following Friday. Therefore, I seek an injunction against Governor Sirnick from declaring Adam Griffin, New_Conservative or SomebodyWhoExists as a winner of the special election.
More specifically:
Article V, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Third Atlasian Consitution states:
While there is no similar prohibition in the Fourth Northeast Constitution, note that the Atlasian Constitution bars newly registered voters from being a candidate in
an election, not just federal elections. And under
Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1 of the federal Constitution, "[r]egional authorities shall be bound by the the federal Constitution . . . as federal law shall be the highest form of law in Atlasia."
After deregistering from Atlasia for months, Adam Griffin
registered in Atlasia on January 24, 2014, 08:34:18 pm, six days before the commencement of the special election. Therefore, he cannot be a candidate in the special election under the federal constitution.
New_Conservative
newly registered in Atlasia on January 25, 2014, 02:15:59 am, five days before the commencement of the special election. Therefore, he cannot be a candidate in the special election under the federal constitution.
Finally, SomebodyWhoExists
newly registered in Atlasia on January 27, 2014, 06:20:33 pm, a mere three days before the commencement of the special election. Therefore, he cannot be a candidate in the special election under the federal constitution.
For similar reasons, I also ask that the CJO direct the Governor to ignore the votes of BrandenCordiero and anyone else who was not registered in Atlasia for more than seven days.
