Hi, Progressives! First of all, thanks to the PRO for considering endorsing me for IDS Legislature!
I have just one correction though, you guys have me on the ballot as a Federalist, when I'm actually a member of the Democratic-Republican party. So instead of "Small L (Fed-TX)", it should be "Small L (DR-TX)".

This isn't a big deal, but I want you guys to know who you're voting for (or against). I wouldn't want to gain votes under false pretenses from those of you who really love Federalists

Anyways, carry on with your convention. I'm hoping Lumine wins the Presidency, so good luck!

Oh my god, I'm so sorry for the mistake.

This actually seemed really sarcastic, I actually wanted to apologize because we didn't mean to put you in the wrong party.

sh**t sorry. i guess well add that to the list of problems with the vote. sorry im such a sucky chair guys

You're a great chair! You just made a mistake is all

[Flake]

So I think it's time to tally up the scores?

[Flake]

Are we going to have a convention before every major election? (Presidential, Senatorial) Or are we going to have it before Presidential elections?

[Flake]

What about the Althing, Pacific Council, or Mideast Assembly?

Those aren't in the same timeframe as the Convention.

This is already covered by the section below. I don't see anything wrong with a 72-hour nomination period.

The problem with this is, well... say one person writes in "[10] Write-in: Dave Leip". The average score for Dave Leip would be 10 and he would be endorsed without input from anybody else.

I thought that the total was divided by the amount of voters, so that if Dave gets a ten then it would be divided by 7 (if seven people voted) would 1.4 I would say do that.

Aye to 1-4, nay to five

I'd like to nominate GAworth as our new party chair.

[Flake]

I'd like to suggest to whoever is the party chair to explain how score voting works whenever we hold a vote.  I think it confuses people and leads to less people voting.  

Edit:  I don't really like score voting in general either tbh.

Score voting is not really great, I love preference voting much more.

[Flake]

I'm gonna run for vice chair

[Flake]

I have to agree with our Former Vice President, no matter who wins I hope everyone will support them. If Siren wins, she will have my full support and I will continue to work with her to make the Party the National powerhouse I know it can be.

[Flake]

[ 1 ] GAworth
[ 2 ] Siren
[  ] none of the above
[  ] abstain

I love both of you so much and it was really, really, really hard to choose.

For Vice-Chair:
[ 2 ] PJ
[ 1 ] Flo
[  ] none of the above
[  ] abstain

I love how we've been in Vermont for the past month.
