WE WANT RESULTS!!

I have already sent a personal message to both Election Commissioners:

Under the current election procedure, the results of the voting need to be posted within 72 hours after voting ended, so that any runoff elections can be conducted on time.

If you are having problems beause of th issue that arose over voting in the Delegate election, then I would suggest getting the general election part of thevoting posted, while you work out the rest.

SENT TO NAMYKNOM and OMANOFFIA
 
I seem to remember Hersfold a few elections ago appointing Fedele to take control of Voting Booth to announce the results, though the reasons were because Hers was concerned a power outage may occur at his house and thus distrubt the announcement of results. Perhaps it may be neccessary if the current Election Commissioners are otherwise unable to announce the results on time? Just a thought.
 
Dal, that may well be, but we would have to find out who has access to the Voting Booth account, since access to any votes cast privately would be required.
 
I'm going to send hersfold a PM and see if he has access. Hersfold isn't running for anything, and if he does have access, I'll suggest to him that he count the votes cast and verify th count by having OPA verify the count. (What I want to avoid is just one person counting.)

I understood that Roman has the flu, but he never asked for any assistance; Namyeknom hasn't posted at all from what I can see,
 
If Hersfold accepts, then I will make that an act by me as Prime Minister. subject to posted objections by a majority of the Cabinet,
 
I'm working on counting the ballots now. I'll also look over the debate on the UN requirement on the Delegate voting - from Schnauzer's PM, it didn't sound as though a consensus had been reached on that.

I should have the results up later today.
 
This is Hersfold, posting as The Voting Booth.

As I have just announced on IRC, there is a major issue at hand whether non-UN votes are counted or not in the Delegate election. Depending on which way this goes, we will either have a run-off election or a winner.

I am just making this perfectly clear before I decide - whichever course of action I choose, it will be as unbiased as I can make it. I will review both sides of the debate carefully, and try my best to make a sound judgment.

Bottom line is: Don't bite my head off if you don't like my decision - I did not ask for this job.
 
I will mention publicly what i said to hersfold in my personal message to him earlier today:

Do you still have aaccess to The Voting Booth Account? If so, I would like to ask if you would count the ballots in both elections (making your best judgment about what to do about the issue of who can vote in the Delegate election -- see thread in Voting Forum). OPA has staed he still has access, so I would ask that you have him confirm your count. Just to save time, make note of any private votes cast and not posted by username.

I am quoting this to make entirely clear ro everyone that I asked Hersfold to make his best judgment on that Delegate voter issue. I am unsure if the existence of this issue is a cause of the delay from the originally appointed Election Commissioners or not, but I expect everyone to show Hersfold due respect in taking on this task without prior warning to him that his assistance was needed.
 
To make things clear, it was my determination that non-UN votes should be counted in the election in accordance with the Constitution and Legal Code. See results thread for more details.
