Thank you. I didn't see his declaration, since he posted in the thread way back in early August.

See, this is why I should post the candidate list/ballot ahead of time.

[homelycooking]

He never declared a running mate, but Comrade Sibboleth is running for president.

From the Consolidated Electoral System Reform Act (italics mine):

I think Carl said he wasn't running for Senate anymore, didn't he?  But it'd probably be best to double check on that.

I can't find anything to that effect. I'll send him a PM, I suppose.

Carl replied that he remains in the race, so he'll be on the ballot.

Napoleon/Nathan currently amassing a huge lead. They're nearly getting on track for a 1st round victory, but if Jbrase is eliminated in the third ballot, the preferences go unanimously to Snowstalker, nearly making up the gap. If Snowstalker gets eliminated, it's a Liberal landslide.

Napoleon/Nathan 23
Jbrase/NCYankee 11
Snowstalker/Redalgo 10
Xahar/Hashemite 4

Hell of a tight race.

[homelycooking]

Would it go down to first preferences...?

Yes.

How is OAM's ballot going to be treated?  He gave two second preferences, one of which is Spamage. Right now Spamage and me are tied for first preferences as of the Round of Five, and while he currently has way more second preferences than I do, that could change in which case what preference he presumed to have given Spamage could matter.

I can't presume whether he intended to second-preference SoS or Spamage. In a case in which his vote must be distributed to either of the two (which would only be a small fraction resulting from redistribution of surplus), I cannot give it to either and would have to award it to the third or fourth or fifth preference, depending on who's been eliminated by that point.

Snow and Spam are the clear winners and likely to remain that way in the little over three hours remaining before the polls close at 11pm EST (midnight EDT).  

Don't be so sure of that: if Simfan gets one more first preference, he ties Spamage in the second count, wins the tie-breaker, and probably gets elected in Spamage's place.

EDIT: He just did, with Franzl's transfer from NVGonzalez. Simfan's in position for the win now.
