Presidential Survivor (ROUND 8)

[DanimalBr]

Millard Fillmore is the latest president to be voted off the island.  And with that, we've gone through our first week of Presidential Survivor.   And seven presidents are now gone, and thirty five are left to go.   Who will be next?   Will it be another forgetable dead wood president from the late 1800s?  Or will it be a big name?   In just 24 hours I will tell you the answer.    And yes, for legal purposes, I must remind everyone that voting for this round does end at Midnight Eastern time.

So on to round 8.   It's time for us to pick the next commander in chief to be voted off the island:

We have 2 hours left to go and we have our closest vote ever.  Right now Andrew Johnson and Zachary Taylor are both tied with the most votes at 7 votes.  Ulysses S. Grant is just 1 vote behind them with 6 votes.

If this tie is not broken, we will have yet another tie breaker in the "Election What if" forum.   So if you haven't voted yet, I strongly urge you to do so. 

[DanimalBr]

Alright kids, No voting twice.   One person = One vote.   Once you vote, that's it.  You can not vote again until the next round. 

  We must be fair about this.     

[DanimalBr]

Okay folks.  It's Midnight on the east coast and voting for Round 8 is now closed.   We have a close one here.   Just give me a second to tally up all the votes here and I'll do my thing

[DanimalBr]

Okay.   We have a problem here.  Either I miscounted or somebody deleted their Andrew Johnson vote.    I thought Andrew Johnson got eliminated by one vote with 9 votes for Johnson and 8 for Taylor.

Yet when I go back and recount from begining to end, I'm coming up with it tied at 8-8.   If that's the case, then we're gonna have to do a tie breaker.   

[DanimalBr]

Okay, I think I know now what the problem is.  If you look at the last vote count that I did it was Taylor 6-; Johnson 5; Grant-5.


Then jfern did a vote count a few posts after that where he comes up with Taylor-7; Johnson-7; Grant-6

But if you look in between my count and jfern's count; you'll only find one vote each for Taylor, Johnson, and Grant.   So when jfern did his count, it should have been Taylor-7; Johnson-6; Grant-6

What I'm pretty sure that happened was the Red NJ Avatar did his duplicate post inbetween my count and jfern's count.  So jfern counted it with his tally, but was unaware that Red NJ avatar voted twice.    Therefore, I'm sure it really is a tie and It's Taylor and Johnson tied at 8.

So we're gonna have to do a tiebreaker hear folks.  It will be up in the Election-What if forum in a few minutes. 

[DanimalBr]

Okay folks, I appologize about all the confusion.  But I do believe that we have a tie between Andrew Johnson and Zachary Taylor.    So I'm gonna have to do a tiebreaker again to see who goes home.  The tiebreaker is up in the What If Forum

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=21270.0


Hopefully all the confusion is erased on this one.   So please go vote in the tiebreaker.   In the mean time, I will post the Round 9 thread momentairly.   

[DanimalBr]

Final results are as follows:

Zachary Taylor - 8

Andrew Johnson - 8

Ulysses S. Grant - 6

Abraham Lincoln - 4

George W. Bush - 2

Rutherford B. Hayes - 1

Franklin D. Roosevelt - 1

John Qunicy Adams - 1

James Garfield - 1

Calvin Coolidge - 1

James Monroe - 1


Voting for round 9 is now up and running.   Tie breaker will end at 1:30. 

[DanimalBr]

Alrighty folks.    A long and grueling round 8 is finally over.

By a 9-4 tiebreaker vote, the participants in the poll opted to keep Zachary Taylor and vote Andrew Johnson off the island.

ANDREW JOHNSON IT APPEARS LIKE YOU HAVE WORN OUT YOUR WELCOME ON THIS ISLAND.   YOU ARE THE 8th PRESIDENT TO BE VOTED OFF THE ISLAND. 


PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON, THE TRIBE HAS SPOKEN
