In the recent special election to the Northeast Assembly, irregularities caused an improper winner to be declared. "Alfred F. Jones" was placed on the ballot, and subsequently declared winner of the election, despite not properly declaring for the election in the first place.
I resigned as Northeast Assemblyman on May 4, at 12:04 PM EDT, thereby triggering an automatic special election for my seat.
I, wormyguy, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Senator and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Atlasia, so help me Dave.
I also resign as Northeast Assemblyman.
Governor Napoleon officially declared that the special election would be held that same day at 12:57 PM EDT.
Executive Order #6
A special election to replace Representative Wormyguy's now-vacant seat will begin Friday, May 11th.
Alfred F. Jones, however, did not declare his candidacy after the announcement of the special election, but nearly 11 days beforehand, on April 23 at 3:07 PM EDT.
I am running to fill Wormyguy's seat in the Northeast Assembly.
One cannot declare for an election that is not even scheduled to occur yet. This would be the equivalent, in some imaginary county known as the "United States of America" of if someone had filed papers in New York for the special election for Anthony Weiner's seat... before the special election had even been declared. Such a filing would be ignored and they would not be placed on the ballot even after the special election actually was declared.
I ask for an injunction against Alfred F. Jones's seating in the Northeast Assembly pending resolution of this matter.
