[DownWithTheLeft]

The SDP-endorsed candidates' showing was incredibly strong, considering the dominance of the JCP over the region. You see, unlike the RPP, we're not a Southern regionalist party.

We just pulled 40% in the Northeast with a candidate who is not known by half the forum and hated in the other half.  And we stand a great chance at winning with Fmr. Gov. Inks in the Mideast.  We branch out more than any other party, we just don't waste our time in the Pacific because the JCP is doing a great job there

Placing drones everywhere is not good for Atlasia.

We have almost a dozen office holders and almost everyone else has at least run for office.  You can scream "dead voters" all you want it doesn't make it true.  You are the one just randomly signing people up

Running for office does not make someone knowledgeable. Remember RowanBrandon? His statements on the campaign trail were completely inane. Marokai Blue, on the other hand, knows as much about Atlasia as you do.

LOL sitting at home and reading a Wiki does not make one knowledgeable about Atlasia.  Talk to me when you start winning elections at the rate I do

Our candidates not always win, but they don't endorse sockpuppeters.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Our candidates not always win, but they don't endorse sockpuppeters.

Neither does our party, in case you didn't notice the first thing we did when we heard of the controversey was call for Constine to step down and remove him of his regional chairmanship.  And your right, your candidates (spare members who came before Xahar) never win

[Јas]

Here is how I see it:
At least 1 of SPC and DWTL have to be elected (most likely that would be if only one although I think we can both pull it off)

Given the number of RPP voters on the voter roll, anything less than 2 seats would be a considerable failure of vote management.

I'm getting a strong feeling this is a 2 horse race for that final spot

I'm getting a strong feeling this is a 2 horse race for that final spot

     That's bad for us. There's more folks to vote for Lief than there are to vote for SPC.

That's bad for us. There's more folks to vote for Lief than there are to vote for SPC.

SPC should be safely elected, quite possibly to seat #2.
The last seat will be close though.
At this stage I'd suggest it's too close to call between any 2 of Lief, Franzl and Bacon King for seats 4 and 5.

     Has the Atlasian Center fallen so far that they are less electorally viable than the Atlasian Right? That's shocking, though I suppose true.

You might want to review the official RPP talking points...I don't think you're supposed to openly admit that the RPP is of the Atlasian Right.

DWTL and Bacon elected. Both have a surplus of 1 which shall now be re-distributed. Well, I suppose it needs to be distributed in order. I'm not sure which needs to be redistributed first,

According to the act it's by order of election, which would be DWTL by virtue of ranking.
(Though it wouldn't make a difference in the current instance, I should probably amend this so that surpluses are distributed by descending order of magnitude.)
