The Examiner: Election Tracker

[Хahar 🤔]

All told the upcoming Senate elections look like they will lack any real spark, with only elections for 2 of the 5 seats likely to be contested and only 1 of those (Midwest) liable to being competitive.

Hey. I almost won last time. Remember?

Indeed I do and the JCP quickly learned its lesson. I don't see anything short of a migration of sympathetic voters from elsewhere making you competitive this time.

I'm delusional, but with a very strong GOTV effort, something I almost managed in the first round but which killed me in the runoff, I could pull it out.

Again, short of importing voters, I don't really see a "strong GOTV" effort producing anywhere near enough votes.

It would if the JCP sees this election as one where it doesn't need to expend too much effort.

Of course, Torie should play a big role in this race. I wouldn't be surprised if he got the JCP endorsement. Really, who else is left in the JCP to run?

friz, obviously.

Last time, he declared somewhat earlier. It would be a great victory for all Atlasia if he chose not to run.

Well, in truth, they don't. On a really bad weekend, they should have 4 votes in the Pacific. And we've seen their ability to pull out late votes at seemingly short notice when required. It would probably be very surprising if you got to 4 votes. So I really don't envisage a close race here.

Four votes isn't unreachable; I've done it before. It'd be a bit of a stretch, but if I saved my hand until late, it could work.

Even if he doesn't declare officially, even if the JCP don't officially get a candidate, they can simply write-in friz or some other stalwart. (And what's more even if no JCP'er ends up on the ballot, I'd expect them to preference Torie over you anyway.)

But which JCP stalwart?

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

That we will.

Doesn't matter.

Not for the election, but it certainly does in the Senate.

[Хahar 🤔]

Hey Jas, now I "know" why I "hate" the main stream media! 

Yes, yes, yes. Keep doing that if you want the JCP vote.

[Хahar 🤔]

Friz deigned to appear briefly in Atlasia...

Best verb ever.

[Хahar 🤔]

Torie, who becomes the first Atlasian to defeat an incumbent JCP office holder.

I was an incumbent JCP office holder when I was defeated by five Atlasians, four of them not JCP members.

Perhaps "Pacifican" should be added?

[Хahar 🤔]

I'm loving the low preferences, I really am. Nice to know Atlasia still cares about me enough to hate me.

[Хahar 🤔]

'Twill come in time.

But we're not a party of dead voters.

[Хahar 🤔]

The SDP-endorsed candidates' showing was incredibly strong, considering the dominance of the JCP over the region. You see, unlike the RPP, we're not a Southern regionalist party.

We just pulled 40% in the Northeast with a candidate who is not known by half the forum and hated in the other half.  And we stand a great chance at winning with Fmr. Gov. Inks in the Mideast.  We branch out more than any other party, we just don't waste our time in the Pacific because the JCP is doing a great job there

Placing drones everywhere is not good for Atlasia.

We have almost a dozen office holders and almost everyone else has at least run for office.  You can scream "dead voters" all you want it doesn't make it true.  You are the one just randomly signing people up

Running for office does not make someone knowledgeable. Remember RowanBrandon? His statements on the campaign trail were completely inane. Marokai Blue, on the other hand, knows as much about Atlasia as you do.

[Хahar 🤔]

I liked the last election that ended at 6 PM EST much better.  I don't know if I'm going to stay up until midnight on a school day

You have school this week?

Tomorrow and half day Tuesday.  Yeah it sucks.  BTW, don't look now but SouthParkConservative is back in the 5th slot

Haha.

Also, living in PST is awesome.

[Хahar 🤔]

Lewis, how should I vote?

[Хahar 🤔]

Just to explain my vote, I approve of all 4 candidates I preferenced.
The order was based on a tactical assessment of the current state of play.

That was how my vote worked, to some extent.

New math!

[Хahar 🤔]

I believe all federal law runs on EST.

That is correct. Atlasian Standard Time is EST.

[Хahar 🤔]

My question hasn't been answered. How are NEW REGISTRATIONS supposed to even know "precedent"?

Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

[Хahar 🤔]

You know Jas, if you accepted the write-ins for you, you would have a fair shot at winning a seat.

He has, by preferencing himself.

[Хahar 🤔]

I honestly could care less what you think, and I'm not exactly flattered over your obsession with what I say either

Aside from that, he's a mod and you're not. But whatever.

[Хahar 🤔]

Not a single exciting race this time. Oh well.

Regional Senate races unexciting.
Scientists predict sun to rise tomorrow.
More at 10...

But they are so importantt for teh n00bs so then they can see exciting Altasian elekshinns!

There's a difference between reforming regional Senate seats and abolishing regions, you don't seem to make that distinction.

Not making that distinction seems to be the domain of certain other people.

[Хahar 🤔]

The LNF members spontaneously and unanimously declared themselves for Al.

[Хahar 🤔]

Wow, the only reason I moved to the Northeast is because according to Hamilton math I would win something like 22-17.  O well, back to the Dirty South and the at-large December seat

You clearly admit that you registered strategically just to get elected ? I still can't understand how a shameless power-hungry manipulator like you could get 9 votes...

Don't bother.

[Хahar 🤔]

Sometimes my party depresses me.

So then join the LNF!

Hah.

I still the JCP.

Sometimes your lack of judgement depresses me.

[Хahar 🤔]

The likely defeat of this amendment is profoundly disappointing and erodes my faith in the ability of this game to ever make the changes it needs to make to continue functioning.

And yet you remain in the JCP.

[Хahar 🤔]

I'm proud to be in the DA looking at those results.

We did better.

[Хahar 🤔]

In the past when activity was almost dead there were instances when if a person didn't move to take a seat it would have been vacant. Well it doesn't seem possible now, we shouldn't constrict ourselves just in case.

Or you could just, you know, fix the circumstances that would lead to such a thing.

[Хahar 🤔]

What is the DS?
