quick somebody sue so we can get some action

If this is serious, I'm not starting a lawsuit myself as this isn't a clear enough violation by my judgement, but if one of the other candidates pulls the trigger, I will certainly join the suit.

It's been awhile since I counted an election in Lincoln, but shouldn't five delegates have been elected to the Assembly, as there were at least 6 candidates (four declared, plus two write-ins) running?
I would say no because the constitution says "declared candidates" and "appear on the ballot." Write ins aren't officially on the ballot, so they wouldn't count towards the number of people elected to the assembly.

Scott accepted write ins for the Assembly, so the # would be pushed to five, unless I'm missing somebody.

I'm pretty sure the assumption that it would be 3 is correct, due to the Constitution wording it as "declared" and "on the ballot". So while a write in can win, they wouldn't up the number of seats, since they aren't actually on the ballot.
Thanks—Fremont used a slightly different system whilst I was PM, and I wasn't sure if that was also the case in Lincoln (since I wrote both Constitutions).

I'm not interested in challenging the results. The constitution seems pretty clear to me.

Not Madigan isn't even taking office, so there's going to be a special election anyway.

? "There's going to be a special election" and "SWE is my replacement" doesn't even make logical sense together......

Well, interim replacement according to AZ.  Until the special election happens.
