To contest an election, only the states that were "tied" the first time around qualify as being able to be contested, right? No 2000 Florida re-do...

Come on… 

[pman]

I mean it’s a game so do what you need to do but still come on.

Correct. We will have to get into the results, contesting, scoring all later.

I will be traveling tomorrow and definitely wont be on all day. Possibly back Wednesday night but more likely we will resume on Thursday.

If this gets overturned after Pringle’s flat out won last time and it was scored “differently “ there’s going to be some sore people

Correct. And you can only contest if that state would have flipped the election. So I don't think you can this round.

No one is taking it that seriously. Everything is gonna be alright.

[ebrk85]

I will say I was rooting for that 269-269 tie. That would have been fun, interesting and probably maddening to run as the GM lol

@jnewt

Fair considering integrity is what made it close

[pman]

Btw kudos to jnewt for his Deep South strategy- he saw something I missed and it just about won him the election

I think the final map actually comes out to 285-253. I think we may have been counting the split Kansas EV in the wrong direction. Either that, or I messed up tracking somewhere else. But this looks like the final map save the split EV.

We had restricting so our EVs are slightly different then IRL. Like AL for us is 8EVs now.  But thanks for the map. Having an easy reference for who one which state is super helpful for me when I go to the Gov, Sen and House races.

Thanks Eric for running this- probably not how you wanted to spend the night before a trip but thanks regardless

Yes thanks. Moving on from this playtest for the night now. So I can post proposers in the 48 test before bed lol

Hey, that's a nice and eye-pleasing electoral map, except for New Mexico's flip

[pman]

It was a pretty realistic map. But individual states were way closer than they should have been. CT being so close doesn't happen irl. But it was a good election. BTW, honorable mention to my friends on the blue side. You guys waged a super smart campaign. You kept it close and that'll no doubt save y'all downballot. Well done.

Yes, she accepts

[ebrk85]

To replace Lisa Blunt Rochester in the House, Gov Coons appoints Ted Baucus. Generated Pol because we are out of DE Dems with Legis ability. He is assigned to VicxCPU.
