Los Santos, San Andreas<\/em> – This week, the state of San Andreas came together to celebrate the culmination of two weeks of intense campaigning followed by four days of voting as citizens came together to express their collective democratic vision. Hosted by the San Andreas Voters Association in conjunction with Weazel News and CNT, candidates and voters alike gathered at the Kortz Center on Monday night for the state’s first Election Results Party<\/a>. With live radio and television broadcasts keeping the voters at home informed, vote counts rolled in throughout the night as precincts around the state began reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night began with an extremely tight race, showing Vlad Tod and Cole Gordon in a dead heat after nearly all early votes for dark horse candidate Andre Johnson selected Mr. Gordon as their second choice. Incumbent Mohn Nash led the State Representative race, followed by newcomer Hudson Welsh, Representative Becks Lawson, and Merryweather CEO Jacob Wheeler. Incumbent Endeavour Jackson rounded out the top five as the reports rolled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the evening, several candidates and Governor Paxton himself joined Weazel News and CNT on our co-broadcasts to talk about the results, reflect on the campaign trail, and share their thoughts for the future of San Andreas. Once just over 50% of the votes had been counted, the Tod-McKenzie campaign had begun pulling away, garnering nearly half the votes cast with the Gordon-Hall ticket gaining just under 40% of the first choice selections. On the State Representative side, Endeavour Jackson had surged past Beck Lawson, with Grace Stone leaping into fifth place as Jacob Wheeler fell below Josh Zimmerman into seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the night went on, the votes tallied only served to cement the results that were growing clearer by the minute. By the end of the evening, Vlad Tod & Karmen McKenzie<\/strong> had received an overwhelming mandate of 50.22% of the vote, with another 6.38% of voters selecting them as a second choice to Andre Johnson & Jennifer Sallison, who finished third with 13% of the vote total. While there were several shifts in the fight to contend for fifth place, the State Representative race held steady, awarding the victories to Mohn Nash<\/strong>, Endeavour Jackson<\/strong>, Becks Lawson<\/strong>, Hudson Welsh<\/strong>, and Grace Stone<\/strong> as our next legislature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
