Office of Mideast Governor HappyWarrior

[HappyWarrior]

Come if you have any suggestions or questions to improve the Mideast Region.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Mr. Governor, I'd like to welcome you to hte Office of the Mideast Governor.  You'll enjoy this room, and it's phone extension of 666 - feel free to change that one if you want.

Good luck in your term - I wish you the very best.

Also - I'm going to need you to certify the election results when the polls close, and then tell me so that I can lock the threads.

[HappyWarrior]

How do I certify them?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

How do I certify them?

Count the AYE's, NAY's, abstains, make sure nobody edited the ballot, make sure all the voters are legal voters.  Then write that all down in a post.  I'll put hte results up on the wiki.  Do you have a wiki account?  If not - register for one.

Also, you need to be sworn in here: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=36934.165 while saying "I, [state name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of [state office name] and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Mideast Region, so help me Dave."

[HappyWarrior]

Does anyone have any initiatives for the region?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I'll lock the End to Districts Amendment Voting Booth once you've certified it.

[HappyWarrior]

I've just certified the results for the ballot for October.  I'd like to thank everyone for their support for the two propositions up for vote.  Both passed, one had a single dissenter.  I'd also like to congratulate Sensei as our region's new senator.  I'd also like to congratulate all the other recently elected officials including President Colin Wixted.  I am saddened however by the reinstating of the death penalty in the Southeast.  I hope the voters will try to overturn this sometime in the future.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

I'd just like to say that I am VERY disappointed in the poor turnout for the Regional election, but it was good to see that we had a better turnout in the Federal election.

Governor, when do you plan on nominating a Lt. Governor, now that the 10th Amendment has passed?

[HappyWarrior]

No one in particular in mind.  I hope anyone interested will PM me.  I will nominate and put up for a vote someone on friday.

[HappyWarrior]

I hereby announce my recomendation of Inks.LWC as the new Lt. Governor of the Mideast Region.  My former opponent was a distinguished governor of our region and continues to be a prominent member tof the region.

Thank you Mr. Governor.  I heartily accept the nomination and look forward to testing out the knew Amendment!

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

When are you putting up the Lt. Governor confirmation thread?

[HappyWarrior]

I'll do it tonight

Distinguished? I seem to recall him making a ham-fisted attempt at rigging a referendum.

Which one?  If this is true, I will defintly withdraw the nomination.

End to Districts. He PM'd people telling them to consciously go back in the booth and invalidate their vote to end districts.

[HappyWarrior]

I'll leave the voting til next weekend when Inks will be able to plead his case or I will choose someone new.

But is that really "rigging"?

not in particular, but it should be frowned upon, whatever you decide to call it.

I agree that it was out of line.  But it was not rigging - what I did was not illegal, and I find it ironic that I am being accused by a former Senator who deleted his vote and revoted to avoid invalidating his vote.

EDIT: You know, you don't have to have this confirmation on the weekend, but this needs to happen - we can't keep going on without an without a Lt. Governor - even if you decide not to nominate me, it needs to be voted on soon.

FTR, I strongly support Inks for Lieutant Governor here.  He's very strong when it comes to the "important" stuff, namely drumming up voters for regional elections and making sure booths get opened and closed on time.

Mideasterners already have a strong progressive in the Governor's office.  They shouldn't need to worry about Inks' positions on the issues—what's important is that he's competently able to do the job.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Mr. Governor - we've been without a Lt. Governor for 2 weeks now, when are you putting up my confirmation thread, or if you're retracting my nomination, when are you nominating somebody else?

[HappyWarrior]

Ill just put it up tonight.  Let the voters decide if they wantcha or not.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

But it was not rigging - what I did was not illegal,

Whether what you did was illegal or not is irrelevant (though it certainly should be illegal, and in the real world the practice of intimidation generally is).

Do you deny trying to manipulate the results of a referendum? Manipulating election results is sometimes known as "rigging" them.
