Makes no difference in the final tally.

Right now, the results are as follows:

1. San Francisco
2. Belle Fourche
T3. Austin
T3. Seattle
T5. Everyone else.

I suggest we end voting right now, since this took me a long time to do (manually) and I don't want to have to do it again.

Except that I am going to do the calculations

Just thought I'd let you know that I've created an Atlas Wiki page for the February 2008 Progressive Primary. I'll update the Wiki page as the Primary progresses. Here's the Link for your convenience.

How will you be breaking ties in deciding which city to eliminate first? And will you allow ballot altering?

Well, SF is winning.

Our final poll results

Polnut has a commanding lead going into the first primary next week, with well over a majority of progressives supporting him. He increased his totals by ten points since our last poll two weeks ago. Vice President Jas  also saw his numbers go up, at the expense of "other". Keystone Phil was polled for the first time, and his campaign does not look good, as he is polling at just 7%. He is expected to do well in the Pacific, however.

Polnut    - 57% (+10)
Jas         - 36% (+10)
Keystone Phil - 7% (n/a)

Damn! I'm four days late to be a voter in the primary. Oh well I can make up for that by being a delegate for Polnut at the Convention

The midwest primary voting booth will open in 7 minutes

Just a note to voters, uncommitted is not an option.

Ah! so it isnt. Very well. In that case, I will vote later. I must do some research! (I do plan to vote for one candidate or the other in this primary) Such.....a......hard......choice!

[Хahar 🤔]

Why not? We can have delegates free to vote for anyone in the first round.

It's too late to change for this round, but next primary I can look into it.

You ruined the primary. Your vote would have been worth an extra delegate!

Results of the Midwest Primary:

Polnut - 2 votes, 1 delegate
Jas - 2 votes, 1 delegate

the remaining delegate will be determined via the tie-breaker to be implemented later.

[Robespierre's Jaw]

I thought that the Vice President would have done much better in his home region. Obviously not. I wish all three candidates the best of luck in the Super Weekend Primary this forthcoming week. And there will be no debate until the final days of the Presidential Campaign.

Are write-ins allowed?

No.

[Speed of Sound]

Wow, between the two, Jas is tied for second, 7-2-2! Perhaps we have a serious Atlasian upset on our hands?
