[Senator North Carolina Yankee]

SoFE Homelycooking,

At precisely 11:44 AM EST, the Senate of Atlasia assembled voted to expell from its membership, Mideast Regional Senator and Senate Dean MoPolitico. The vote was 9-0 in favor of expulsion on the grounds of innactivity exceeding 14 days. As per the OSPR, I am to alert you of this event so as to take measures to procure a replacement (basically you get to contact the Governor of the Mideast ). 


Senator NC Yankee,
President Pro-Tempore

This is just disgraceful.

[Senator Snowstalker]

So what happened with the vote miscount? Is it possible that I won?

Sorry, Snowstalker, but the results haven't changed.

Unfortunately wormyguy found one of your voters didn't meet activity requirements so you still lost by less than one vote. However, we know this election was a fluke and come August we could see 1 or 2 of these guys defeated. Since you came so close this time, you should prepare for another run.

[Big Wiggly Style]

The 50% turnout sucks, but at least some olds came out and voted.

[homelycooking]

In light of the vote count débacle, I would like to announce that I will not resign. It seems that enough people have confidence in my ability to run an election that such a move would be misguided at best and catastrophic at worst.

However, I will make a few changes to the way I count elections so that this regrettable incident need not ever happen again:

1. I will post the election ballot a full 24 hours in advance of the start of the election.
2. I will post a status report of all the ballots as the election progresses, in which I will state whether a vote is confirmed to be valid or invalid.
3. I will post an unofficial results report immediately after the polls close and leave it there for public review for an additional 24 hours before certifying the results.
4. I will settle all election-related grievances before declaring any candidate to be elected.

As always, please let me know if there's something more I can do to rebuild your confidence in my office.

I see the Atlasian left has reverted to a dysfunctional joke.

Inevitable really once the JCP and its time-honoured tradition was abandoned.  I think we need to resurrect it.

There are stirrings within the parties. Not about the JCP, though.

Why? Lack of posts?

[homelycooking]

Yeah, you had only posted about twelve times in the previous six weeks.

What's going on in Atlasia ? Since when did we turn into a far-right country ?

[asexual trans victimologist]

Just in this election! It seems to have been really sudden. The left did reasonably well in February.

[Governor Scott]

Let this be a lesson, friends.  Turnout is key.

Well not very interesting then.

Olds always vote. It's the youngs that are the problem.

This is the equivalent of 2010 in the real world.
