Election Discussion

[Keystone Phil]

Might as well get this started.

[Alcon]

That's what the Election Gala thread is, Phil.

[Jake]

A few results:

Southeast Gubernatorial:

StatesRights - 3
Dubya           - 1

Initiatives:
                                          Aye  Nay
HTMLdon as Magistrate -     2     2
Initiative 45                   -     3     1
Initiative 46                   -     3     1

[Keystone Phil]

That's what the Election Gala thread is, Phil.

This area can be seen as the outside-the-gala discussion area. You know...where people debate what's going on, yell at each other, etc. People can go back to the gala after their nice debate and talk more civily.

I think Phil is in serious trouble. I don't see very many second preferences for him, and he's already lost MasterJedi and StatesRights to Harry. This is all from a scan of the ballots, no actual counting, it's my observations. Supersoulty is doing much better than polling said he would, that is also bad for Phil because he's closest to him ideologically, and if he's around late, those are votes Phil is not going to get. Siege is vastly underachieving, but it's very early. King and JFK are going to split first preferences, and they will both go out early because they aren't 1 and 2 on a lot of ballots.

[Ebowed]

Supersoulty has definitely put up a better showing in the preliminary results than expected, that's for sure.  I had been expecting a King vs Harry showdown myself.  I think the endorsements of Wildcard and hughento helped Supersoulty a lot.  Undeniably choosing WMS as running mate was also an excellent decision.  Of course, with less than a third of people voting so far, we've still got a ways to go.

[Akno21]

Phil is certainly not completly dead yet, there's a lot of ACAers who haven't voted yet, some of them who are dead wood, some of them who aren't.

How is Migrendel getting votes?

[Colin]

How is Migrendel getting votes?

I have no idea. I was trying to figure it out. I guess some people will just never vote for an "evil Republican" even though I'm not a Republican in Atlasia or evil, damn I knew I should have changed my avatar to red last night.

[The Dowager Mod]

Migrendel always manages to get votes.

[WMS]

Migrendel always manages to get votes.

Clear evidence of Satanic influence in Atlasia.

Migrendel doesn't have an avatar, I believe.

The voters are as inactive as Migrendel, so they don't know he's inactive, leading them to vote for him.

[MasterJedi]

I'm also kind of surprised at how many votes Kodratos has gotten, he's pretty inactive as well.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I explained mine on the ballot
If he ends up beating you by 1 vote, I'll delete my ballot.

but what if your vote is the decider in the Presidential election?

I understand your vote because you explained it and I respect that. Other people voteing for him I don't know, they didn't say and he's kinda inactive. If that does happen, thanks Al.

[JohnFKennedy]

If he is so inactive he probably won't show up to be sworn in hence there would be a special election .

[Sam Spade]

The Jesus vote flows to JFK, so you should add another vote to JFK.

[PBrunsel]

I will be writing another history for Atlasia about this Presidential election, just to inform you all.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

To explain my vote: I never intended to preference every candidate. I did not preference JFK because:

1-he's already been president
2-he was inactive for a very long period before just jumping in here to run
3-I was never able to see his campaign as anything but a joke

I did not preference soulty for obvious reasons.

I was initially not going to preference Phil either, but after some whining on his part over the weekend, I decided to throw a swipe at him there inside. Note the two preferences over him. So do not get the idea I prefer Phil to the non-preferenced.

[Jake]

Glad to see you support a child molester.

I take offence to that. I didn't vote for Colin because of a gruge
