Federal Election Coordination Anti Take Over Program

25 Day 877, 07:05 USA
Federal Election Coordination Anti Take Over Program

As authorized by the Congress of the USA, the office of the Federal Election Coordinator was created. In coordination with authority from the executive and military branches of government, it is to establish and enforce a policy to prevent the risk of political take over of the USA. To this end, it is deemed critical that no candidate deemed a threat to security be allowed to run for Congress, Country President, or have control over a Top 5 political party.

To promote the security of the USA's political system and in cooperation with the leadership of the top five political parties, the following was agreed and adopted April 14, 2010;


Statement of objective
It is the purpose of this agreement is to codify and explain the obligations and responsibilities of the party presidents of the top five parties of the USA (5PP or PP) and the federal election coordinator (FEC).

The ultimate goal of this agreement is to secure and protect the elections of the USA from the threat of subversion by PTO.

It is of primary importance that all PTO candidates be prevented from being allowed to run. To achieve this goal, each party will be required to run a candidate in each region of the USA. Whether this is a "real" candidate or blocker is not important to the FEC.

Each party is to provide their own candidates or blockers or make arrangement with other parties. The use of FEC supplied blockers is not to be considered as an alternative. If a party fails to demonstrate the ability to fulfill this requirement, steps will be instituted to remediate the situation.

Congressional elections.
On the 16th of each month the FEC shall supply to the 5PP a list of all USA regions as of that day. There will be copies provided. One will be used for the 5PP to discuss and negotiate with, the second will be the official list for submission to FEC.

The list will lead with the 50 USA states. Washington DC to be substituted for any missing region. Each Election the top ten states will move to the bottom of the list. This is to encourage some diversity in elections. The initial list will be compiled by a weighted average of the 5PP's choices.

Starting on the 17th each party will have ten candidates run for Congress in the appropriate states. This process will continue through the 21st. This will help eliminate the need to scramble to fill slots and will also allow for some political campaigning to commence earlier.

Any slot not filled by a candidate on the day required will be filled by a blocker chosen by the FEC.

On the 22nd, each party fill have their remaining candidates run in the remaining regions including any that may have been added since the 16th.

By 23:59 game time on the 22nd, all candidates must be in their region and click the run for congress button.

On the 23rd all pp will confirm to the FEC the final list of their authorized candidates and the region they are running in. This list will be submitted by 1800 game time.

At 1800 any ballot slots not filled will be filled by blockers assigned by the FEC. Any slots not filled by the candidate listed by the pp will be filled by the FEC.

On the 24th the 5 pp will chose their party's official candidates. Any substitution from the list provided on the 23rd must be specifically addressed to the FEC. Choosing of another candidate in lieu of an FEC blocker is not permitted.

If a candidate is chosen to replace an FEC blocker, the candidate and the pp will be sanctioned. Sanctioning will include but is not limited to the following:
1) Permanent banning from eusforum.
2) Dishonorable Discharge from the USA military, including a preemptive denial if not currently a member.
3) inclusion on all watch lists and burn lists

If a FEC blocker is elected, said blocker is to resign from office. Failure to resign will result in sanctioning as detailed above.

Permanent Banning from the forum can only be repealed if there is agreement from the following:
1) President of the USA
2) The party presidents of the Top 5 parties
3) Director of CIA
4) Federal Election Coordinator

This is an attempt to stifle political dissent. If you have specific knowledge of Phoenix operatives, then you should warn people not to vote for them, but other than that you should not be telling people who to vote for.

So what is in it for the blocker if he cannot hold office?

You might have a game mechanics reason for advertizing that voting is patriotic but I generally find it to be encouraging the uninformed and ignorant to take action in spite of their better judgement.

Get out the vote efforts are by definition partisan.

No

This is a process to prevent PTO candidates from being able to run and get elected by either misrepresentation or cheating.

The game itself is design to stifle political dissent, since only 5 parties candidates can even run for office.

This process makes the presentation of elections easier and more manageable for the parties and the country.

@TaKunCat

What is in it for a blocker? The same thing that is in it for the people who work with SAC. The knowledge that you are using your vote, or in this case, your presence on the ballot, to prevent an enemy of the country from getting into Congress where they can cause damage to our country.

Ad content is designed to attract attention.

Why cant someone who was patriotic and active enough to volunteer to block, follows all steps to show they are merely blocking and are elected anyway through none of their own doing, not good enough for congress? They are much better then half the tards who get in.

Really, the players in control of the goverment and elections (mcfarlane) want just that, control. The "fewer" the better.

What is a 'County President'?

and why do you have to have a special government branch to point out the obvious?

The cure is worse than the disease. What criteria do you use to determine who is a "candidate deemed a threat to security" and therefore should not "be allowed to run for Congress, County President, or have control over a Top 5 political party".

In the past, candidates have been ostracized who, on whatever pretext, were regarded as "not reliable". Perhaps the time has come for those of us who are good citizens to take leave of our party affiliations entirely.

They can. Contact a party and volunteer to block for them. The will not seerve clause is for FEC blockers only. They are not suppose to want to be in politics and are restricted to prevent claims of a conspiracy or military take over.
