Europeia Decides, and the EBC posts
Palace of the People, Oval Room - Election Day is upon us, and some last minute shake ups have radically changed a sleepy race into a potential barn burner.

President Lloenflys announced at the midterm that he would not run for reelection, and Senate Speaker Rand and Senator Lime both stood for President after the Frontier/Stronghold Referendum ended. Enthusiasm in the race has been low, but Rand appeared very well positioned to run away with the election.
However, low enthusiasm and a series of developments in the Senate regarding the Regional Security Council opened the door for a last-minute, scrambling campaign from McEntire. No polls have been finished that have all three candidates in the race, but preliminary results of a Spag survey appear to show the race tightening significantly. Recall that to win outright, a candidate will need more than 50% of the vote. Otherwise, Europeia will go to a runoff election. More on that as the election develops.
All three candidates have released either platforms or statements which you can read here:
