    <i>"The final votes don't mean NOTHING."</i>

    He means that votes mean everything.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    The final votes don't mean something, anything, nothing or everything.

    They don't even MEAN, man.

    It's his regional dialect. If you ask any linguist, they can tell you that he clearly stated a double negative intended as a negative emphasis, as per african-american dialects in the USA. Correctly stated, though, it should have been "The final votes don' mean nothin'."

    Thank you for the translation, Spuuky. We really would be lost without you.

    1) You HAVE to change the password - Nait isn't allowed to access Election Booth if he's in a party, let alone not counting the votes.
    2) Ahh, TamTam, try and think up new ideas for how the voting will be done, too. Variety is a great thing. *nods*

    Or maybe think up old ideas. Y'know, like different from previous years, but things that have actually been put into practice in existing political systems. (I favor first past the post to determine who gets the slot, but you can go for proportional representation this time around, for instance)

    It helps if you've taken a poli sci course. I could do it, but I'm probably going to run this time around, if I see a party I like.
