Hopefully Franzl will top Afleitch, he may be getting my first-preference if it comes down to those down.  Right now its a three-man race for the last seat between Afleitch, Franzl, and Duke with Duke a heavy underdog

[HappyWarrior]

Round III

NE Chairman RowanBrandon	8
Senator Marokai Blue	8
Fmr. Senator SPC	8
Senator Afleitch	7
Senator Fritz	7
Senator Franzl	4
Sewer Socialist	2
Fmr. Governor AHDuke (write-in)	0
GM Purple State	0

Sewer Socialist is eliminated and his votes flow to Afleitch, who is elected and his votes are redistributed. Marokai Blue and Fritz are subsequently elected.

How did Franzl go from six votes to four?

Because the quota went up

Unless I'm misunderstanding the system his votes still should stay the same unless other candidate's votes are redistributed to him.

[MasterJedi]

Yeah, when I was cracking the numbers yesterday I saw this guy and thought "Who the hell is he?", I factored him in just in case something like this happened.  Don't worry, our second seat is not in danger

I hope you're right.

[Fritz]

Wrong.  Its a race between Afleitch, Franzl, and SPC for spots 4 and 5, with Afleitch favored for spot 4.

If only you actually cracked some numbers, the RPP has at least 11 members left to vote including (you can't say there is any way these people don't vote):
DWTL, SPC, PiT, AHDuke, BrandonH, NorthCarolinaYankee, Vepres as well as well as 4 other more than likely to show up members.  There are also RPP favorable indies left out there.  Basically the quota would have to break 15 or so for our two candidates to even have a shot of not being both elected.  You are certainly in more electoral danger than SPC.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Notice SPC's count is also conservative and does not include the top voters deemed invalid by Jas but certainly should be counted and probably will once the court hears the case if necessary

[California8429]

I wish I had joined earlier, I didn't get to learn a whole lot about the candidates this time around.

Althought I did for the Pacifica Lt. Gov race. What Fmr. President would want to be a Lt. Governor?

I didn't update Round 3.

[Franzl]

Well...it's sure turning into a close race....

I didn't update Round 3.

Then what's the current status?

[Fritz]

SPC, I see that you just updated, but round 2 is all wrong.  And could you please do round 3?    I think its a bit closer between Franzl and yourself for the fifth spot than you are realizing.

[afleitch]

SPC, I see that you just updated, but round 2 is all wrong.  And could you please do round 3?    I think its a bit closer between Franzl and yourself for the fifth spot than you are realizing.

We do have a curious system where second preferences and third preferences can be worth the same 'weight' as a first preference. As someone who has ran in a real preference based election I've always found that quite bizarre

[Fritz]

Actually DWTL, all of Duke's votes don't go to SPC.  Check again.

[Fritz]

Well we shall see.  I'm not counting votes that haven't been cast yet, you admittedly are.

[Fritz]

It is, and I'm asking SPC to put up the third round to show that.

[California8429]

It is, and I'm asking SPC to put up the third round to show that.

[Vepres]

Sewer Socialist and Vepres are tied at 3s

That's just plain terrible

I think the anti-Vepres vote has turned out now. I'm pretty sure Jas, dead0man, Gustaf, Mechaman, and possibly ilikeverin will vote for me.

Thought they didn't first preference me, both Lewis and Xahar sais they approved of all candidates, thus they approve of me I've already run a GOTV PM frenzy, so hopefully that will pay off.

[SPC]

It is, and I'm asking SPC to put up the third round to show that.

Sorry, I just don't feel like check who everybody second-preferenced again just to add the results for a third round when I have already showed how it plays out in my summary of the second round.

[bgwah]

I find it humorus the accusations people make against the RPP about being a totalitarian smoke and mirror party full of zombies and bent on power.  I think someone should really pay attention to the fact that a few voters in the Pacific have received 6+ PMs freaking out about a race for Lt. Gov.

Who?

[afleitch]

[ 1 ] Write-in: AHDuke99
[ 2 ] SPC
[ 3 ] Franzl
[ 4 ] RowanBrandon

Apparently Gustaf is deleting all my posts because I don't worship the ground Al walks on, so I thought I better try to post my ballot in a lot of places

You know that's not the reason. You're lucky what's in the Mods board stays in the Mods board.

[Peter]

I've gotten about fifty thousand private messages asking me to vote in this. So I'm going to pretend it's very important, and line up like a good little sheep and vote according to the order I got the messages.

Here we go:

1. Afleitch
2. Fritz/Marokai Blue (tied)
3. Franzl

Now stop messaging me, numbnuts. If you dislike the position I put you in, you ought to have messaged me earlier.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This may become especially irritating if afleitch's votes need to be redistributed.

[Rowan]

I don't understand why people take this thing so seriously, as to basically harass other people to vote for them.

[Peter]

To borrow from Henry Kissinger, forum politics is so vicious because the stakes are so small.

Interestingly I can now see scenarios in which Marokai or Fritz may not be elected.

I would imagine this translates into some sort of 1. Afleitch, 2. Fritz, 3. Marokai, and 4. Franzl.

I don't understand why people take this thing so seriously, as to basically harass other people to vote for them.

Nor will I understand why people take this thing so seriously, as to basically scrounge around for people to enlist in their ranks en masse for the purposes of voting for their party according to a given ballot.
