hold up. Census Bureau? DoFE? No offense to Truman here but I feel like these two are more important for pins than the Library of Congress.

The DoFE belongs on the AFG Board, like other department threads.

No, in its case it really doesn't. Elections are LITERALLY THE POINT of the AFE board. The DoFE posts the ballots prior to federal elections in part so people can see them, and puts out the results of the elections (which occur on an AFE subboard) to that thread. It belongs on AFE.

Generally, elections and campaign related stuff goes on AFE. Official policy actions and debates go on AFG. The Census Bureau and DoFE are departments dedicated to overseeing the operation of the electoral part of the game - AFE is the correct venue for that sort of thing.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I agree with Sestak. The policy departments should go to AFG because they are gov't simulation. The Election related departments and threads should be on AFE.
