Ben Steps Down as Gov, Afleitch Takes Over, Xahar Withdraws
by South Park Conservative

   Due to the revelation that Ben opened a second account under the name "Populist", Mideast Governor BenConstine resigned today, sparing the Mideast an embarrasing controversy. Due to this Lt. Gov. Afleitch will now be the new Governor of the Mideast. We wish him well. However, Attorney General and Senate candidate Xahar has announced that he will be pressing charges against the now-former Governor for voter fraud.

EDIT: Due to AG Xahar's prosecution of the Benconstine case, he has withdrawn from the Senate race and endorsed write-in candidate Franzl.

RPP, SDP win three Senate seats, Rocky becomes Governor
by South Park Conservative

   This weekend's senate election proved unexpectedly suspenseful, as every candidate found himself close to losing at one point. Nevertheless, Senators BaconKing, Al, and DWTL were re-elected, Governor Lief was elected, and journalist SPC was elected on the seventh try. The election gives the Regional Protection Party and the Social Democratic Party three seats each in the new Senate, and gives right-of-center Atlasians the first Senate majority in a year and a half. Governor Lief's election means that Rocky Republican is now the Governor of the Northeast. Atlasians anticipate who Governor Afleitch and Governor Rocky will appoint for Lt. Governor. Additionally, Speaker Franzl's loss ensures that the Mideast will continue to have him as Speaker, and will ensure that the region doesn't become less stable than it already is.

Damn.

Xahar fired as AG, will be prosecuted
by South Park Conservative

   Due to messages I received last night from Xahar and "Benconstine", Xahar was fired as Attorney General, and President Bgwah intends to have the next Attorney General prosecute the forum AG for hacking, "assuming Dave doesn't get to him first." After I received the messages, which can be viewed publicly in the White House thread, I immediately forwarded them to the President, RPP party leaders, and Sam Spade. The President advised me to allow Alcon to access my account so as to confirm the messages' legitimacy, which I agreed to. Alcon confirmed the messages and informed the President, and the President fired Xahar as Attorney General.
   This will have immediate repercussions on the trial of Former Governor Ben Constine, as Xahar was the prosecutor until this happened. There was a petititon to remove Xahar as prosecutor, but he did not intend on it. Thus, Ben will now have a different prosecutor as soon as a new AG is confirmed, though the recent events may make a conviction even less likely. This will also have bad effects on the Social Democratic Party, of which Xahar was a major leader, and its party membership previously denied he had ever hacked Ben's account. SDP leader GMantis recently disassociated the party from Xahar's actions, and called for him to quit the party. However, one does wonder who Xahar's accomplice(s) is/are.

EDIT: There are many people, including this author, who are suggesting that Speaker and former Senate candidate Franzl should fill the vacant Attorney General position. if President Bgwah likes the idea, Franzl should have an easy confirmation hearing.

[GMantis]

Thus, Ben will now have a different prosecutor as soon as a new AG is confirmed, though the recent events may make a conviction even less likely.

Actually, this makes his conviction all the more certain, as Xahar's removal also removed the only possible excuse not to vote guilty.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Good news.

Yeah, that's true too.
