Election Tracker - NE Special

[Napoleon]

For one thing, Lief, none of the candidates in your ballot have a running mate.  Neither candidate is running without a running mate, so I don't think your vote can be counted toward any ticket.  The other problem is what Inks pointed out.

Scott, one thing in life that you should never, EVER forget is that you don't mess with a man who has a good lawyer.

[Lief 🗽]

My lawyers have advised me to say nothing further on the matter. I simply hope the Department of Federal Elections chooses to do the right thing and not infringe upon my rights.

Shouldn't you also be doing the same with our votes for Assembly then?

Yep. Not sure how that mistake crept in.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

If people just cast their ballots like normal people without trying to be clever, they wouldn't run these risks.  Lief invalidated his vote.  The basic rules of grammar confirm this.  The SoFE should invalidate his vote.

[Talleyrand]

I am 95% sure in previous elections, this vote would have been counted. "Sorry Duke" is an expression Lief has used before in this board, so we can be sure of its intent; it's really no different than "All these candidates are great". As for not listing V.P. candidates, I am fairly sure examples of such votes being counted to the total regardless. Even if it were somehow invalid, it would ONLY invalidate his presidential vote (there's a precedent from the June 2013 election about this).

Julio's however, is blatantly invalid, as it disparages a candidate for both Senate and Vice President outright.

Basic of rules grammar? Gtfoh with that nonsense. Cease and desist!

Here is an example of a ballot on which the voter wrote "sorry (insert candidate's name)" here before proceeding to vote for his opponent. I do not recall any stink being made over this, and his vote was counted. Admittedly, this was a regional election, but the situation is not much different than this one.

Here is Lief's presidential ballot from February. He wrote "Marokai for President" without listing a running mate and his vote was counted.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure folks have had their votes counted in the past despite their ballot saying "Sorry (insert name)."  I am not necessarily opposed to banning the practice going forward, but I don't think it is grounds for invalidation right now.

Former Presidents can vote however they want. #executiveprivilege

Presidential numbers by region, anyone?

Not trying to kidnap any Jewish babies, but something tells me that National Progressive's vote might be invalid.

TNF has won an absolute majority of the votes in the midwest, and if dead0man votes, then the midwest will have a turnout rate of 100%.

Yes

If it isn't, then I am prepared to bankrupt the Atlasian government with lawsuit after lawsuit.
