Again though, you can't prevent dupe accounts or "newly registered users" from skewing the vote...

For the first time, we could limit voting to users who registered before today, so that people couldn't create new voting accounts on the day of the election.

However, I don't think that dupe accounts would be that much of a problem, since having multiple accounts at one IP address is a bannable offense.

We should just go with the suggestion you said earlier:

When the parties are as organized as they can be we shoudl request a special poll (including an "other" for write-ins) that can be moved to this forum once the alloted voting period ends.

It would be so much simpler.

Also, the password and outside website idea wouldn't be fool proof either. People could just register multiple accounts here, and request multiple passwords to get multiple votes.

Probably true.

True, but if you have a "Parlimentary Administrator" assigning those passwords he/she could filter as need be.

Edit- Ivan has bandwidth he's said is just sitting there, it's not that difficult to either ask him to do it, or ask him to provide someone access who can.

Its a good job we were all too busy with this election to phone the enbalmers

*Guffaws all round, Comradely hugs. much vodka and back to business*

Aw gee, ingliz, you're such a kidder! Ain't he a kidder, guys! *punches ingliz playfully on the shoulder*

I think we should just see if we can get an opinion poll up.

It might also be fun to play with a screwed up parliament for a bit, even if the election was horribly flawed. It'd add to the drama.

Clausewitz, Fasces rigged the ballots these results don't count.

[Clausewitz]

Yeah, I know, I just thought it'd be interesting to look.

[Fasces]

Of course, the results for the PNL and the RF were not the product of fraud.

I know perfectly well that RF was rigging ballots!

[Cheesecake_Marmalade]

The PNL's results were not the product of fraud. There was no ballot stuffing from us.

[Zyx]

Rigged election? How realistic.

[Doomhammer]

One would expect commies and fascists to rig elections... behold.

[Fasces]

It is all a leftist trick. They stuffed the polls with our ballots to undermine our credibility.

[Nets]

Oh, stuff it.

[Doomhammer]

Oh, stuff it.

They already have.

[Fasces]

[Red Star]

*takes to the floor of Parliament*

Such slanders cannot stand - I doubt anarchists would be stuffing ballots in those boxes! This should be seen as the PoFo people's cry of protest, and no amount of name calling by the black-shirts will change that!

*fires a couple of rounds into the ceiling*

[Fasces]

*fires a couple of rounds into the anarchist*

[Brio]

*fires a couple of rounds into the anarchist*

Hasn't there already been enough bloodshed today? I mean I'm still quite injured from my last venture into Pofo Parliament.

[Rancid]

Alright, put me down for the Liberty Caucus.

though i find the revolution front interesting...

[Zyx]

Rancid, in order to vote, you have to go to the Voting booth and post "SN."
