Yep....
It will be a very interesting situation this month.

That's kind of sad, really. What if somebody gets no votes. Are they still in?

The sad thing is that even if they couldn't get in with 0 votes they could still pretty much vote for themselves.

Yes. Everyone is a Congress Member this month.

That's not good news at all. What is the point of elections if everyone automatically gets elected.
Does me think about the presidents elections. No real choose is just undemocratic and unfun.

The good news (for me at least) is that I'll join you guys again

What is really upsetting to me is that Sandy x3, about 19 hours into the day, has the most votes at 13, while oXyTeC, a good active congressman in the same party (and recommended by the party president, while Sandy x3 was not) is next at 9, and Xgentis, an experienced and interested member of Congress, still has 0, and 3 other returning active members of Congress have only 1. I know when this election is over it won't make any difference, but it still seems to me to speak poorly about our voters.

If you notice, Sandyx3 usually gets about 13 or more votes.

Its sad how people vote for fat 42 year old men who have girl avatars.

Well, this fat 59-year-old woman who uses her own picture (only from a couple of years ago when I was considerably fatter) does finally find something amusing in that statement. I'm afraid I really can't see why the votes fall as they do. I certainly am not complaining about my votes. I got my share and more. But I do think it's wrong that someone who really contributes nothing to eBelgium gets considerably more than people who work hard for it, including others in his/her party.

Personally I think the first.
