The Fritz Building for Forum Affairs

[Yates]

I would like to thank Q for his faith and trust in me.  I will not let him, President Joe Republic, nor the people of Atlasia down in this position.  Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, MAS.

Does King's vote count?  And if so, for which District?

I do not speak for Q, but I can assure you that it shall not count.  He was de-registered.

[Yates]

Because of Q's absence, I will be monitoring the District 4 Run-off election.  I have posted the official voting thread here. 

Please do not vote until the election begins - midnight this Friday.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Good evening everyone.

I would like to update you on two subjects tonight.  To begin with, I wish to remind all citizens in District 4 that the Run-off election for the Senate will begin Friday at midnight.  For those who find the concept as confusing as I do, I am talking about the transition between Thursday and Friday.  I will open the voting booth about an hour beforehand.

The second issue which I would like to address is the counting of the symbols vote.  I am in the process of counting it, and in Q's absence, I will continue the process.  I do not want anyone to think that Q is not helping.  In fact, he is leading the counting effort.  He is merely absent due to his trip.  The symbol-counting will take a few days.  Please be patient.

Thank you, and good night.

District Four Citizens:

Please begin voting at midnight for the Run-off Senate election.  Thank you.

I would like to announce that the winner of the Atlasian Mammal vote is the American Black Bear.  I am going to be posting the round-by-round results online, and will provide the link.

Statement Regarding the District Four Senate Election

Good evening.  I have contacted the candidates, Bono and Dave, and they have responded.  I have let the candidates know their options, and I am here tonight to inform all Atlasians of the events which could potentially occur.

1) The candidates could agree to split the term.  They may do this whichever way they want - half/half, rotating weekly, etc.
2) If no agreement can be reached, the Senate shall decide a replacement.  The Senate cannot split the term.  If the Senate votes, the winning candidate serves for a full term.

Please contact me if you have any questions.  Thank you and good evening.

bump. Wouldn't mind a national motto either.

I apologize.  I thought that this was already posted.  I will see to that tonight, and no later.

[Yates]

the mammal count appears still to be missing.

I have announced that the winner is the American Black Bear. 

As for the detailed count, I have, apologetically, forgotten to post that.  It will be posted tonight.
