RUFUS - Voters turned out yesterday in North Lorray, Hilson and Porter to vote in candidates for Governor, Lt. Governor, Comptroller and Attorney Generals. The votes are now being counted and results aren’t expected until the 23rd.

“Vote counts are very important and they take time,” said a vote counter, Friday morning. “It takes time and I implore voters to carefully watch vote tracking sites including their state elections board websites or the Federal Elections Board site for continued updates.”

According to the federal elections board, it projects that it will have all votes called by February 23. It says it asks voters to be patient during the counting of votes.

FEDERAL ELECTIONS BOARD - With election day upon us, we look to ensure that voters are well informed about their polling places, where to view election results across the three state elections being held today.

As you head to the polls, remember that voting has already started, as of 7:00 AM. Electorates from each county will then certify one vote for their counties and bureaus, which North Lorray, New Shire, South Lorray, Mesa, Hilson and Porter each have 270 electorates, but how electorates work in the United States Of Jesstopia, including in larger states such as Mesa and New Shire, they are defaulted at 270 to match every other state during its elections.

States such as Brighton and Acacia hold their elections until a candidate gets a majority of the votes, even if that is by 1 or 2 votes. Generally in this case, one candidate usually gets a majority well into the beginning of the vote certification process, such as what happened in 2014, a contentious battle between incumbent Errica Reedman and then-State Senator Parker Heaton.

Voters are expecting a contentious race in all three states but it is not known if Lee will be able to hold off Harry Adams' tight second place. She is predicted to win the office by a narrow vote margin, with several sources claiming otherwise.

"I look forward to hearing what voters think," said Governor Lee. "Not what some media site has to say. Media doesn't matter, its about the voice of the people."

JESSTOPIAN NEWS NETWORK - States ramp up preparations for election day 2024, as North Lorray, Porter and Hilson prepare to host several state office votes, including Governor, Attorney General and Comptroller.

"It will be tight gubernatorial race as all incumbents are attempting to retain their seats," said Axel Bavis, a political expert. "Lee remains stagnant in terms of polling numbers as does Harry Adams. It is expected that this election cycle will be relatively close, but Lee has the Incumbent Advantage."

Governor Bronson has a slight lead over Perry Walters, including a 8 point lead. Bronson remains a popular Governor, more popular than most of his predecessors. Governor Rachel Hopkins is slightly leading her challenger Daniel Bradford. She remains in a lead by slim 2 points, but that lead is expected to grow as election day gets closer.
