Department of Federal Elections: Homelycooking, SoFE

[Napoleon]

It's just an interesting scenario. If you can't vote once the booth is closed, arguably, in an ideal world, there should be no mechanism to spoil your ballot beyond that time either. If you ask me, it should be common practice for the SoFE to save the ballot booth immediately after it closes. I don't know where that fits into Atlasian law or if the saved booth is currently recognizable to be used in the count... but the stuff with Velasco made me uneasy enough to want to save it "just in case." Is that bad or dishonest?

Some people say there is a right to edit your ballot for twenty minutes. Locking the thread before twenty minutes has passed since the last vote would violate that right.

You forgot wormyguy.

Wasn't GPorter's vote counted because multiple people had seen the vote and knew it had existed unaltered when the booth had closed? I assume that's what would happen in most of these scenarios.

Anyway, I'll leave the business of answering Hagrid's question to Homely, since he is in charge of his Department and I am just his humble servant.

That and his ego caused him to brag to everyone about it lol. The old Northeast.

It would not since the voting period had ended in any case.

That's not necessarily my interpretation but someone could argue that.

Only the Right has a history of invalidations anyway.

Did you miss Zell Miller? 

I'm going to go ahead and confirm that you're 100% spot on with the rest of your post. However- the Zell Miller comment wasn't a party leader, just a member and honestly we already have a crazy right wing Democrat challenging people to duels, so Nix isn't even eligible to be Zell Miller.

I believe you added a Lumine vote to one of the Pacific Candidates...

Its 11 without Lumine.

This is amazing

It appears Gass, bore, Alfred and badgate are the "most partisan" voters.
