So fezzy's vote needs to be thrown out - what about Einzige's? Does his rant constitute campaigning?

I was thinking the same, or is the fact that he voted 2 second prefs enough to toss it out?  Add that to the two people who registered on August 12th but not August 12th at the same time, if the result isn't RB/Marokai/SPC/Fritz/Franzl, a lot of court cases could come out of this

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'd like to ask a question. This is probably not the right topic for it, but since we don't really have a place for this sort of question I'll still try here.

Well, I'm certainly not an expert in voting systems, but this has always interested me, so that I tried to research about that and now I know the basics. But there is something I don't understand about the voting system used for this election.
The Single Transferable Vote is suppposed to be a proportionnal system, selecting the 5 people that represent better the electors. In this case, why the quota fixed to be elected is 1/6 of the total votes insteasd of 1/5 ? If you fix it at 1/6 where there are only 5 senators elected, the representativity of the elected will be just slowly higher to 5/6, whereas we could have a 100% one with an 1/5 of the votes. This clearly hurts proportionnality of the system and can be dangerous.
If there is a reason why things are so, I hope someone could explain it to me, because this issue worries me since sometimes now. I admit that I can be wrong and will accept any sort of explanation. Thanks a lot.

The count is going to change a lot when someone finally realizes that FloridaRep and AzMagic both registered on August 12th

I haven't bitten on this to date, but I will now

Amendment 26
[...]In order to vote or be a candidate in an election, a person must have been a registered voter seven days before the earliest possible commencement of the election. If a voter changes their state of registration between that time and the election, the state from which they were originally registered shall be the state from which their vote is cast. [...]

The earliest possible commencement of this election was 00:00 Eastern Time on Thursday 20 August. (for clarity, this means the midnight at the beginning of Thursday)

ajc0918
Regional protection party
Oregon

This registration was made 6 days, 22 hours and 22 mins before the earliest possible commencement.

azmagic
Regional protection party
Arizona

This registratino was made 6 days, 21 hours and 52 mins before the earliest possible commencement.

The fact is that the beginning of the election is defined by EST, so therefore, 7 days before it is also defined in EST.

[Rowan]

So to sum it up, you are saying that they are legal voters?

[Peter]

So to sum it up, you are saying that they are legal voters?

Both were registered less than 7 days before earliest possible commencement, therefore both votes won't count.

They will be legal voters at future elections, just not this one.

[DownWithTheLeft]

So right now (after 3 SPC voters and 1 Afleitch), it would be RB, Marokai, SPC, Afleitch and Fritz or Franzl?

[Peter]

So right now (after 3 SPC voters and 1 Afleitch), it would be RB, Marokai, SPC, Afleitch and Fritz or Franzl?

Order of election is RB, MB, Afleitch, and then SPC and Fritz without a quota. The difference from SPC to Franzl is decimal though (as in about 0.2-0.4)

[Fritz]

I've been following this for the past few hours- this really is a tight race between SPC and Franzl for the 5th spot.  It all changes with every new vote.

[Peter]

I disagree with Fritz's redistribution of the small surplus when they have to be redistributed for a second time. I think Meeker is correct so far.

[Fritz]

Which round did I make a mistake in?
