Election Discussion

I have a question about the NE gub run-off. I know in many runoffs, voters are only allowed to choose from the top two candidates from the original, but the ballot for this one allows for write ins and NOTA. Is this correct?

Sadly, yes.  In fact write ins caused another tie in the NE gov. run-off of June 2004.  There is almost no legislation regarding the run-off, simply that it must take place and when.  I looked long and hard for something saying that only the top 2 could be chosen, but no.

Verin and Trondheim?

Lewis voted for Ebowed. He wrote in Texasgurl/Everett before Ebowed, and Everett/Texasgurl after.

Right, but she means prefs overall I think.

By the way, Earl get online, we need to talk.

You all couldn't be more wrong Everett/TexasGurl doesn't have 2 prefs... They have 3

By the way, you are registered in Rhode Island yet voted in the Pacific race.  That will invalidate your vote.  You should see if you can switch to vote in the Northeast race where you're registered.

1. True Democrat (Pennsylvania) / Supersoulty (Pennsylvania)

Dubya and M&C, ya'll win be my 2nd preference.

OOOO, good one Ebowed.  Care to explain Preston?
