And HappyWarrior can promptly throw out the entire election as it wasn't conducted using STV.

How do you figure?

Article III, Section 1, Clause 5:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Since the election wasn't administered in line with the constitutional specifications the entire thing is invalid.

At least in my opinion.

Useless case and total waste of time.

Someone's a sore loser

Once again, you have no clue what you're talking about. This is a waste of time because the wrong electoral system was used.

I don't care if I'm elected or not.

The wrong system wasn't used because NO system was officially used.

Exactly. But the vote was conducted in such a way (bullet voting) so as to make the tabulation of the votes via PR-STV impossible.

That's the way people voted.  A lack of explaining the process of voting does not violate the Mideast Election and Vote Regulations Statute Section 4, Clause 2 ("The administrator of a voting booth shall post links to all relevant statute regarding electoral law in the Mideast on the ballot."), because the direction to vote by PR-STV is not written in a statute, but rather the Constitution.

Regardless of that, the election was not administered under a system of PR-STV as outlined in the Mideast Constitution. Therefore it was unconstitutional.

This really seems like an open and shut case to me. Hopefully Happy will clear this up soon enough.
