Regional Protection Party Spring Fling/April Retreat (Unfinished Business)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Non-RPP Senate candidates have 48 hours to declare their intention to seek RPP endorsement.

It'd be awful kind of the RPP to endorse me for Assembly in the NE

hmm, that would be a different process and held separately. When does that election start?

Our election is held this friday, I believe. Lord only knows if the Governor will open the booth on time though.

    Yeah, it is held this Friday. I never realized that most regions don't have elections coincide with federal elections.

Not much I can do in one day.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I would like to seek an endorsement of the RPP for reelection to the Senate.

[MasterJedi]

I guess I should sign in, eh?

He's alive!

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I'm as shocked as you are!

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So only shua then?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Well I guess Shua gets endorsed by default.


Any objections? Not enough time to hold a vote now anyway.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

No one else wanted our measly endorsement?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

They's sheep are asleep.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I don't think anybody else could comprehend the possibility of being endorsed by the glory that is us.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

RPP, I would like to thank you for your endorsement of my candidacy.  It is my hope that I will be able to work with your party in promoting sensible policy and preserving the important role of the regions in our republic.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Congrats on winning the vote and thus getting our endorsement.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Bumping for use tomorrow. Maybe later since I have to do assignments tomorrow. We'll see.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Can we elect some sort of Deputy Chair to ensure everything gets moved to a vote on time and what?

The main problem wasn't the vote, but that nobody actually declared in time. I could have held that vote, but it likely wouldn't have finished in time to be included on the ballot hence why I decided to forgo it. The whole system needs changing but each time we have a convention or midterm meeting we run out of time.

Another concern is FOR THE ONE HUNDRETH TIME, WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE THE NE REGIONAL CHAIRMANSHIP?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Lastly, we do need to hold leadership elections, since I believe we haven't had one since I was first elected chairman back in Nov 2009. Never intended to be like that, but once again election gets here and nobody wants to deal with party business anymore. Well thats going to change.

You misunderstood what I said.

I have no problems with Shua, I preferenced him fairly well. I did not like the way our endorsement of him was handled though. If he was too late, he should have not got our endorsement, and if he was not too late, then we should have had a vote.

He was on time, go back and check.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Then why did we not have a vote?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Then why did we not have a vote?

The whole process was started too late to be practical. I Thought I started it early enough this time, but obviously it wasn't. The other problem is that the candidates like to wait to the last minute to jump in and it was early enough that no one other than shua to get in, but too late for me to conduct a 72 hour vote in time for the results to appear on the ballot. I expected an absentee ballot on Wednesday to be released by Franzl and as such I considered Wednesday the cutoff. (Remember when you were SoFE and vote didn't finish in time). Can't go later, because it won't finish in time, and can't go earlier because already no one sought it except Shua and going earlier would worsen that problem.

With a declaration deadline so close to the election, there is no fair democratic way to conduct these damn endorsements in time to comply with the law. It is a joke. We aren't the only ones who have had this problem with votes running over, either. So please stop the grandstanding on this "not being done right". I am not aware of but one or two instances where any party did it right since last summer when it was passed by the Senate.
