Mideastern Region VOTING BOOTH - Capital Run-Off, Constitutional Referendum

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

This vote is open to residents of the Mideastern Region only.  The vote will remain open for 72 hours, until midnight EDT on Monday night/Tuesday morning.

PART I - Regional Capital
In last week's general election, two cities tied for the most votes to become our regional capital, forcing a run-off:
- College Park, MD
- Detroit, MI

Please vote for ONE of the these cities.  Write-ins are NOT permitted in this election.


PART II - Constitutional Referendum

While the region has previously voted by referendum NOT to adopt a constitution, the turnout in that vote was very low, so I will bring the issue up again.  Please vote YES or NO as to whether we should adopt a regional constitution as the other regions have.

If a majority of voters vote YES on this I will assemble a constitutional convention following the upcoming presidential election.  If a majority vote NO, we will remain a common law state, at least for the rest of my term as Governor.


As always, please do not change your vote once it has been cast.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

College Park

(Abstain on constitutional convention)

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

I am loathe to close the voting with such low participation....I don't think we have a quorum on anything.

I will leave the voting booth open for another 24 hours if anyone else wants to have their voice heard on these issues.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

Voting is now closed.

College Park, MD has been chosen as the capital of the Mideastern Region.  Construction of the capitol building will being next week...the dome will be a giant terrapin shell.

[Fmr. Gov. NickG]

The Constitution vote tied 3-3 with one abstain. Does the thing fail or will there be another vote?

I don't know...it was a pretty informal vote really.
I originally said I would call the convention in the event of a tie, but this is an awfully tepid response.
