We have more than as many voters/candidates as last time, so I'm calling it.

The Polls are Closed.

The Vote is as So

Ryan/Harrison: 6
Ritter/Blancharde: 5
Jenkins/Unknown: 2

Patrick Ryan will continue in his duties as President of the Republic.
 
Though I am terribly upset of the election result, I would like to congratulate Patrick Ryan on his re-election. I hope he will fix what happened on his last term...

- C. Blancharde
 
I will continue to do everything in my power to end this crisis and restore American prosperity. My cabinet nominations are:

Sec of State - Gov. Sullivan
Sec of Treasury - Mr. Mccahill
Sec of Defense - Mr. Horshington
Sec of Labor and Public Works - Gov. Longstum

President Ryan
 
I would like to both congratulate and thank President Ryan for his electoral victory and his decision to appoint me as Secretary of Labor and Public Works. With us at the helm, capitalism shall be saved from its own excesses and America shall be great again!
 
I wish the new President and the country well. I truly do. I cannot help but think that even more subsidies -- given that needless subsidies of banks got us into this mess -- will extend the Depression, not defeat it, but the American people have spoken.

I am announcing my retirement from politics. The family name will be carried on by my eldest boy, Max.

New character:

Max von Ritter (although he prefers to leave out the 'von'), born 1890, enlisted in the Army as soon he legally could, in 1906. As a Sergeant, he fought in the Great War, getting wounded in Chile in 1915. He lost his left foot as a result of the injury, and spent the remainder of the war in a hospital bed. After the war, he received an honorable discharge from the Army. He moved to Massachusetts and attended Harvard University, receiving a law degree in 1921. However, his days of fighting were not yet done. Given his father's ancestry and his passionate hatred for Socialism and Communism, Max volunteered to serve in the German Civil War, despite his injury. Desperate for veteran leadership, the German government promoted him to Lieutenant. He served honorably there as well, and at the conclusion of the German Civil War, returned to the United States. After finally passing the bar in 1929, Max started a private practice in Boston, only to lose everything in the Depression. The Army, in recognition of his service, welcomed him back, including giving him his rank of Lieutenant he'd earned in Germany, but after a months of desk duty, Lieutenant Ritter was simply too angry with how things had turned out. He resigned from the Army in 1931, won for an open Senate seat in Massachusetts, and is committed to fighting both Communism and the Depression in Congress.
 
I wish to congratulate the President on his victory and announce that I have successfully won election to the Senate for that state of Massachusetts as a member of the Progressive party. I would be more than happy to continue on in my current position as Secretary of the Treasury and thank the President for his kind nomination.
 
I congragulate the president on his victory, now that it has been proven that the progressive have such strong control over the government perhaps less leftists will fear splitting the vote and come over to the side of the workers.
 
Simon Von Ritter, it was a pleasure to have ran for presidency with you. I would like to say have a happy retirement and would like to kindly welcome your son Max Ritter to the political stage. I would also like to say I have won the election to become congressman for the 3rd Louisiana district.

- Congressman C. Blancharde
 
I congratulate Mr.Ryan for his election, and thank him for my position of Secretary of Defence
 
I congratulate the President and Vice-President on their re-election and look forward to continuing in my role as Secretary of State.

I also encourage Mister Jenkins and his supporters within the Progressive Party to unite behind our President and the collective will of the party. Now is the time for unity and stability, not internal strife.
 
Well done on winning a second term, Mr. Ryan, and good luck in your retirement Vice President Ritter! Colonel, I look forward to working with you in these coming years.
 
((I haven't heard the official word from BBB, but we may be extending this; if we are, you're more than welcome to join, especially if you join as a Republican! :D ))
 
Alec Willis has entered the stage, part of the... He said he was Federalist, Then Democratic, so they put him down as Progressive.

A new senator of Montana, Willis is known for being a bit bonkers. He owns the biggest company in Montana, Willis Fishing Cannery. He was voted in by his policy of, "No support, no job," saying that if he isn't voted for he would leave for warmer waters, leaving Montana a wreck. He, obviously, won the vote, and is now here to lobby his radical agenda of intervention in Europe. His main advisor is his parakeet, and won't vote without consulting it.
