Free Republic Caucus 2016 01/20
My own workup | 01/20/2016 | DoughtyOne / for Free Republic

Posted on 01/19/2016 8:49:38 PM PST by DoughtyOne

Welcome to the Free Republic Caucus
Please read this page well, and participate according to the guidelines provided.  Thank you.


Only vote on this thread on: 01/20/2016  another thread will pop up five minutes before: 01/21/2016
Wait to vote until 12:00 midnight EST, and don't vote after 12:00 midnight EST at the at the end of the day.  Look for the new thread.
Votes outside the 24 hour period, will not be counted.  Give it a minute or two on each end, so you are sure to get your vote counted.


IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, FREEP MAIL ME.  DO NOT DISQUALIFY YOURSELF FROM VOTING
BY POSTING ANYTHING OTHER THAN VOTES ON THIS THREAD.  NO EXCEPTIONS.



This will be a formal election process, and I need your help to make it successful.


On this thread, please only post two word responses, once per day, by entering one of the two word selections below.  (Once per day, exceptions exist, read below)

You can only vote for one person.
 (Exceptions exist, read below)

This will allow me to tabulate the results in a timely fashion, and report them back to you.

Please do not post commentary on these Caucus threads.  Two words only > Vote Name

Go ahead and remind your friends to vote using your ping lists.  

Please, no messages to them on the thread.  This will disqualify your ability to vote on the day you do it.  It may entice them into responding, and that will disqualify their ability to vote for the day.  Others may see your infraction and try to warn you.  That will cost them their ability to have their vote counted.  This may cause your candidate to lose support.  Please don't forget.  Two word voting posts only!!!



Selections:


Vote Bush
Vote Carson
Vote Christie
Vote Cruz
Vote Fiorina
Vote Gilmore
Vote Graham
Vote Huckabee
Vote Kasisch
Vote Pataki
Vote Paul
Vote Rubio
Vote Santorum
Vote Trump
Vote No

    (Wouldn't Vote)


Time Frame for the Daily Caucus:

The caucus will be held from midnight to midnight each day, EST.  (Eastern Standard Time)   That will work out to be 12:00 EST / 11:00 CST / 10:00 MST / 09:00 PST  
Your 24 hours will be timezone specific / be logical / we will all be voting at the same exact time for 24 hours, no overlapping)

Yes you'll be able to vote in the caucus daily, and I will report out the results after I have tabulated them.  I'll shoot for one hour after the caucus closes each day.  I'm not sure how long it will take at this point.  After a few days I will know better.



Rules:

To count, your vote must be a two word post, with the words "Vote" space "Your candidate's name"  Ex: "Vote Gilmore"  (anything else will disqualify your ability to vote for one day)

Only vote once per day.  I will allow you to vote more than once if you change your mind.  I want you to have the freedom to change your mind.  I will only count your last vote each day.  Please don't abuse this.  Be reasoned.

Please do not try to post: Vote Gilmore Vote Gilmore Vote Gilmore or Vote Gilmore "new line" Vote Gilmore "new line" Vote Gilmore.  Please don't post two word posts over and over to game the system.  This will only cause me to take more time tabulating results, and it will disqualify your ability to have your vote counted the day you do this.



Warnings:

Caucuses will be run by the clock.  I will be posting about five minutes prior to 12:00 midnight EST and taking the poll down about five minutes after 12:00 EST so that you can be sure to get your votes in between the starting and ending points.
If you vote outside the the 24 hour period, you've vote won't be counted.  Vote on the thread for the proper day.  If you're too early or too late, don't vote on the wrong thread.  I want your votes to be counted.


Votes that won't count:  If you enter more than two words in your post, your vote won't count.  (this will eliminate your abilty to have your vote counted for that 24 hour period)
Votes that won't count:  If you electioneer here, you're vote won't be counted for the day, even if it does appear as a two word post elsewhere.
Votes that won't count:  Bickering, electioneering, commentary, or attacks based on who folks voted for, will disqualify your ability to vote for the entire day
, even if you do it properly elsewhere.

Elimination of Posters:  I don't want to do this, but I want to be up front about the rules.
Elimination of Posters:  If you try to circumvent the rules I will put up with it a few times, but your elimination is up to my discretion.  I will try to be as fair as I can be.


Please play by the rules so we can all participate in this.


In closing:

I will continue doing this for the foreseeable future, if forum participants like it and will abide by the rules, and it is a positive thing for Free Republic.

If it becomes a headache for Jim, the forum, or me, I will discontinue the process.  If it becomes one more thing to bicker about on other threads, I will stop doing it.

This will be as informative and fun, as we make it.  Enjoy.
