[Antonio the Sixth]

Here is it.


By State :



Turnout (well, not very useful...)

The Northeast getting down to the 50's is due to Hamilton's vote.


And the final results map :

Lief
Pit

Table by region :

	Lief	Pit	Total
Northeast	17	13	30
Southeast	7	8	15
Mideast	10	14	24
Midwest	11	7	18
Pacific	12	3	15
Total	57	45	102

Great maps Antonio!

Interesting that each candidate had one strong region, while the NE didn't have a clear favorite.

[Purple State]

The closeness of the Southeast in the final round is pretty astounding.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

The closeness of the Southeast in the final round is pretty astounding.

PiT did better in the Mideast than in the Southeast.  Very surprising.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

The closeness of the Southeast in the final round is pretty astounding.

PiT did better in the Mideast than in the Southeast.  Very surprising.

The second time that occured I think. Last time it was all the DAer's supporting him. This time its because of Hamilton moving all those people from the Pacific to the ME.

There was a candidate too few.

Now what we want here is the same thing for the final round, both as Lief vs PiT and as whatever the final round in that region/state would have turned out to be.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Seems like the Pacific has definitely turned into a dead region, whereas SE is incredibly combetitive (Pit lost 27 points here !).

As for other trends, NE is very worrying. Whereas it was solidly JCP 4 months ago, it looks now perfectly average. The JCP needs to do something strong here or this will cause many difficulties in the future...
As for MW, no great changes, except that Al comes close to be ahead here... Loony guys !
ME is getting colonized by RPPers, seems...

[Alexander Hamilton]

The closeness of the Southeast in the final round is pretty astounding.

PiT did better in the Mideast than in the Southeast.  Very surprising.

This time its because of Hamilton moving all those people from the Pacific to the ME.

LOL!

[Antonio the Sixth]

Holy sh**t, the unholy alliance of Hamilton's and DWTL's cliques are going to make fail an Amendment supported by 60% of Atlasians...

[Hash]

lol JCP

[k-onmmunist]

Yay, down with the Amendment!

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yay, down with the Amendment!

Idiot. You are a puppet and don't even care about.

[k-onmmunist]

Idiot. You are a puppet and don't even care about.

Shut up. I already have three laws ready in case I win, all of which will benefit our region. So don't call me puppet you socialist moron.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Of course, the Mideast has the highest turnout thus far.

[Meeker]

lol JCP

Yea, bgwah is opposed to the amendment and thus has no reason to activate the JCP hordes

[Marokai Backbeat]

At the very least, it's a moral victory, considering that this is the exact problem we were trying to fix.

Well, we're a genuine party. It's not our fault we were unrepresented before.

Do you even understand the point of the Amendment? It seems like alot of you are voting against it reflexively without even understanding why we were trying to fix the problem in the first place.

Typical behavior of the Atlasian right, when you think about it. Just naysay, don't debate.

I perfectly understand the purpose of the Amendment - to weaken regional power by diluting the regions' ability to block amendments that potentially harm them.  Under the bill as proposed, 3 regions with similar ideology could gang up to destroy the other 1 or 2.  And I strongly oppose it.  It should not be easy to amend the Constitution.

Typical behavior of the Atlasian left - watering down constitutional protections on regional and minority rights to increase their control over Atlasia.

Regions are artificial barriers, they serve no purpose when it comes to ratification. If the solid majority of people support something, it should be able to pass, but certain people are able to manipulate the vote simply by where they live. There's no rationale for this behavior staying, absolutely none.

And for your information, this was even the compromise. If we can't even get a compromise to pass, this game is doomed.

The Atlasian Left seems to forget that Atlasia is supposed to roughly simulate a federal constitutional republic.  Regions are no more "artificial barriers" in a game that's supposed to simulate a constitutional federal republic than the states are in the US.  In the US, the states must ratify any proposed constitutional amendment.  Not every region has a legislature (and certainly didn't at the time of the Second Atlasian Constitution), so the current process approximates that mechanism.

I know that this was a compromise to an even worse amendment that would have ignored the regions entirely in the amendment process.  I spoke out to my regional Senator, urging him to vote against that horrible piece of legislation.  He didn't - and that may become an issue should he run for reelection.

[DownWithTheLeft]

This amendment shows a few things:

1.) Hamilton is a power hungry idiot.  His party is once again voting the same way as the RPP.  They are nothing but a power trip and confused people who are following Hamilton's garbage that the RPP isn't conservative or regionally focused

2.) Regional rights are alive and well

3.) Bgwah is a true Atlasian hero

[Marokai Backbeat]

We are not bound to any one system of government, despite how often people say we're modified after the United States. We only are insofar as we live on the same landmass, but plenty is different and we're free to change things as we please.

The point is, the current ratification scheme is grossly anti-democratic. There is no excuse for an amendment with 60%+ support that fails just because of a few strategically targeted votes. Regions do nothing but warp representation and ratification.

[k-onmmunist]

No, Marokai. The regions should not have any more of their power undermined.
