iNCi Did It? If Only.

This recent article by iNCi leader Kemal Ergenekon has been getting a lot of attention since he published it:

More or less, Kemal says iNCi is great, and then proceeds to bash the American Military Party for a few Lazocrats who ended up on AMP ballots this past month. Lazocrats are a well known PTO group with an affinity for cheating.

Anyway, the AMP, like any responsible top 5 party, would never allow lazocrats on their ballots on purpose, so why did it happen this month? Well, to start, I'm going to go back to iNCi for a second here:



The deadline to get blockers and candidates placed is on the 23rd, so a couple days prior to that deadline, Kemal PM'd the other top 5 parties and stated that although iNCi would still run candidates, they would not run any blockers. As a result, he would need the other top 5 to move blockers to iNCi in order to cover over 30 empty ballots.

I just went through the congress results page, and counted 35 blocking candidates under the iNCi banner that are drawn from other parties, including the USWP, the Feds, USMJ, BoL, CvP, and the AMP. 2 Candidates under the iNCi banner were PTOers, and were declared PTOers by the IES, not any one party.

So did a few Lazocrats end up on AMP ballots? Yes.
Would they have gotten there if iNCi hadn't declared a free for all on their ballots? I don't think so. Every other top 5 had to send blockers to iNCi. I imagine those lazo's wouldn't have gotten on any ballot if the AMP didnt have to send help to cover the 37 empty slots left by iNCi. I know for a fact that the feds had to stretch things, I left one or two names on ballots I rather wouldn't have myself.

Blocking isn't a joke, election security isn't a joke. This is a constant issue, every single month, and it peeves me to see iNCi throwing a fit about lazo candidates on an AMP ballot when they themselves threw the doors open to PTO candidates.

AMP let 3 lazo's on the ballot
iNCi let 2 confirmed PTOs on the ballot
iNCi left 37 slots open, and didn't lift a finger to cover them.

Hopefully, iNCi will get their act together for next month, but I'm not getting my hopes up.



Thank you to all the Fed blockers, and thank you to everyone from every party who contributed to covering iNCi's ballots for them.
