My apologies for the delay in this. As you may already know, EPIC has chosen to endorse Addy in his third run for president. This month 4 candidates came foreword, James McNamara, Addy Lawrence, Wally Cleaver, and Tyreal Snow. 33 votes were cast in total, and here's a quick rundown of how they were distributed.
Now, perhaps this isn't as suspenseful now that I've already stated who wins, but nevertheless, since Wally and Tyreal are tied for last place with 5 votes each, we delete all first preference votes cast in their favor and move the second preference votes to first. That's 10 votes that will be redistributed, and it could very easily go either way, depending on what those second preference votes were.
You can view the actual Google Doc where the votes show up by clicking this beautiful tomato.
Names have been blacked out for privacy reasons~
So after moving the votes over, we tally the votes for round 2!
And yet again, by a very slim margin Addy wins the EPIC Primaries. Not only has he received EPIC's endorsement, but I'd also like to present him with this delicious tomato.
(Again, you can click the tomato to see the results of round 2) So until next month, that's your EPIC primaries!
Since the nomination button is arguably the most influential button a Party President can push, I am simply not content with pushing it only once a month. Some people may have noticed that, before I placed Addy as our candidate a nominated numerous other people For giggles, here's some screenshots of the reactions.

~hyuu~
See, I just assumed it was on purpose. So I set my campaign goals and waited for election day :'(
The comments on the spreadsheet are also fun to read. Good job EPIC & Nosyt!
Interesting to see that I received more support from EPIC this time than when I actually ran for CP back in August.
I love tomatoes! They taste much better than imPEACHES.
Thanks for the nomination, I commit to representing EPIC's endorsement to the best of my ability.
I don't know squat about the EPIC party but the last two months seem to indicate that you guys are a bit of a lame-o popular kid party.
Last month you came within one vote of nominating a terrible candidate because he was a popular thief.
This month you came within two votes of nominating the comics kid over Addy Freaking Lawrence, the best CP in recent memory.
Bloated carcass of a party IMO.
@J.Canuck - you should have just stopped at "I don't know squat about the EPIC party".
I was wondering what was going on there, but assumed it was a misclick. And thus, I have not yet had to reveal my devastating action plan to end all action plans. Scheming in private will now resume.
nice to see your using a ranked vote system. I'd like to see the admins implement that (lol) or even our RL admins!
I too got the msg but assumed it was lulz
Every month you guys atleast put a presidential candidate on your card i'm relieved and proud of you EPIC lmao.
Not every month...I think there was a certain month that a certain CP candidate who had a pretty good chance was left off the ballot by a certain EPIC PP and resulted in a certain bigot becoming CP.
September. Treian. Roger Griswald. Aeriala.
If it wasn't for the Treian boffo, I would never have run for CP "by mistake" and never have run "for real" the past three months. If you believe in the butterfly effect, the reason I am CP is because of Roger Griswald.
You can now see that EPIC is a serious party.
My PM, it's an honor! Collector article!
