Department of Federal Elections: Homelycooking, SoFE

[Fuzzybigfoot]

No states for me?  

Look at West Virginia's different color.

Also, Hawaii. Tied in VT & LA, too. But...

I think you missed Maine.

I used homely's regional counts, which apparently didn't have you listed in Maine. There could be other errors. Crap.

Sorry, I weren't sure if those states were tied or not lol.  Thanks!

I think that's the only one.

I'm off on vacation. I'll be back Saturday August 17.

Have all the fun!

I've returned from my vacation to the Mideast. The DoFE is up and running at full capacity.

[homelycooking]

There are still about 150 minutes remaining until the filing deadline, but here's what the ballot will look like if there are no more late withdrawals or entries:

Quota is 19, but otherwise, looks okay.

Quota is 19, but otherwise, looks okay.

I count 112 valid votes. (112/6) + 1 = 19⅔, which rounds down to the next integer (19). You're right. Forgot to use total valid votes in my calculation - quick and dirty indeed!

[homelycooking]

This count should be very accurate.

Homely, when's the next IDS Legislature Elections?

[homelycooking]

Jack, please contact your IDS Emperor or members of the legislature. The Department of Federal Elections does not administer or involve itself with regional elections, and your IDS elected officials can better answer your question than can I.

REPUBLIC OF ATLASIA - In Dave We Trust
Sample Ballot

This election is held in accordance with the 7th and 16th Amendments to the Constitution and with the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act.

DO NOT EDIT OR DELETE THE POST CONTAINING YOUR BALLOT IN ANY WAY AFTER 20 MINUTES OF ITS BEING POSTED OR YOUR VOTE WILL BE INVALIDATED

The act of campaigning within the election booth is strictly forbidden and will render void any votes made by those who campaign. The act of campaigning is considered to include, but is not limited to, strong attempts to compel others either to vote or not to vote for one or multiple candidates, or other related activities that could reasonably be construed as a direct attempt to influence how future voters cast their ballots. In other words, this is not a discussion thread. In short, the department will be taking a liberal interpretation of this, so Keep posts to votes only.

Vote "yes" or "no" on the following referendum question. If any other mark or attempt to order the candidates is made, the Department of Federal Elections will make every effort to deduce voter intent from the content of the ballot, but the warning must be issued that failure to follow the above instructions may result in the invalidation of your ballot in the event of an inability to discern voter intent.  You are an eligible voter in general if you were registered to vote on or before the proper date, and if you made 10 posts in any location within the Atlas Forum in the 8 weeks prior to the commencement of the regular election. In other words, if your name appears on the Census list, you can presume you are eligible.  

Note that voting begins at midnight and ends in exactly 72 hours.

QUESTION no. 1

Shall the following initiative be adopted as law?

You must be logged in to read this quote.

[  ] Yes

[  ] No

[homelycooking]

Full results for the referendum will be published tomorrow, but the initiative can be presumed to have failed, since the 27 "Yes" votes represent only 56.25% of the total of 48 ballots cast.
