Can we expect an update soon so we have a better idea the numbers going into the elections?

yup

Earl, Marokai can move now. The first move is free.

What makes you say this...?

My memory.

Hmm, that's interesting. I can't say I agree with that interpretation though that's clearly how past SoFAs have interpreted it.

On the other hand, if we want to get into details, I believe MaxQue technically missed the candidate declaration deadline by 14 minutes.

Yes, but those deadlines are ridiculous. I hope than the new Senate change them.

By tje way, everybody I talked thought than that was on the third weekend of December, until I re-read the Constitution. Those deadlines and elections dates should be clearly written here.

A complaint was made to my office about voter fraud (not the whole Ben/Populist thing).  I am going to hold off certifying the results until I hear more about this (or unless it doesn't materializes)

Does it have any effect on the results, if it is true?

If that is only for one vote, results can't change, since 1.5 votes separe the fifth place and the sixth place.

[MaxQue]

It'll have to be later tonight, unless I am distracted again

The rolls will need to be upgraded again. I never saw many changes in a so short time.

[MaxQue]

Shouldn't I win then too because I had more first prefs that Fritz?

That's what I thought as well.

The only ballot I'm still upset about is Gustaf. 

I agree. If BK's vote counts...

But if you got rid of BK's vote, wouldn't you have to also get rid of Andy Jackson's vote, keeping the winner the same?

Marokai was also allowed to vote a second time by the SOFA.  That is three allowed votes, one disallowed, all with the same reasoning for a second vote.

There's a big difference, everyone's explained why.

Not to my satisfaction.

Here's the simplified version

Our votes had eye-witness accounts and mine and BK's in particular had documented evidence of technical failure.

Gustaf only had his word.

Gustaf however is well known and honest, not to mention the fact that he is a mod.  I don't see why he would lie about that.

That's not really a defense, though, he still broke the rules by doing that. Same thing with Ben when I prosecuted him as AG.

But on that basis there should be NO EXCEPTIONS at all.  That includes you, Gustaf, Andy, and Bacon King.

So their vote should be invalidated because they were unlucky than the Voting Booth deleted their vote?

[MaxQue]

Have the election results been certified yet?

No, I've been quite busy this week. My humblest apologies.

No, the election must wait after the appeal.

[MaxQue]

Will you do your job, or we have to ask the President to dismiss you?

[MaxQue]

We're going to need a  breakdown of number of registered voters in the Northeast as of midnight next Friday, as well, so that we know how many Northeast Representatives we need to elect.

Good luck, he hasn't posted since November 10.

[MaxQue]

Two things

A - There is a new 'format' I'm working on that would make the list very very easy to maintain, for anyone.

B - This will take longer than a usual and normal head count, and so I am removing my self imposed deadline of tonight, but will work throughout my weekend (Fri and Sat) to get it done.

I would wait to be nominated before doing the job, no? Other people are perhaps interested and I think you are ineligible.

[MaxQue]

I must admit I'm a bit worried that Earl may not open the voting booth in a timely manner...!

Well, the Lief can delegate that matter to any cabinet official if the SoFA isn't able to open the voting booth.
