No one has been elected yet. There is still a day left in the election.

Harry can still make a projection.

This

I mean, irl, there are projections before every vote is counted. There is nothing with that.

The headline does not say "projected." Discouraging voting by suggesting the election is over is not cool, imo.

It's pretty much what RL media does. Oh yes, they use a word "projection", but headlines are usually "XXX elected" way before it should be official.

The real life media doesn't project any states while the polls are still open there.  The Atlasian media is doing that here.

Touche.

I don't think you've done anything wrong. I appreciated the projections.

This.

It would be a shame to see one minor controversy overshadowing all your great work on this coverage.

Statement
Apparently, some whack-a-doodle terrorist organization in Idaho wants to kill me. Just to be clear, I am honored to be lumped in with the likes of Windjammer, Cris, Maxwell, and Lief and have no intention of ceasing publication of this newspaper. I suggest that said terrorists go boil their heads.

THE PLOT THICKENS

Actually, I'm yet to figure out what to do with this...

I think those Reality Or Nothing chaps ought to be rewarded for their brave eliminating of a traitor. A Gold Stars of Atlasia wouldn't be unreasonable.
