“The election was botched,” writes AlexanderLove of Dragon Law Firm in his latest lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Redmont. The legal filing suggests that the latest presidential elections, having concluded only one day before the lawsuit began, were illegitimate due to a discrepancy in the statutory law governing the electoral process by which the president is elected.
The lawsuit, filed in the Supreme Court of Redmont, alleges that the system of preferential voting used in the February election was improper and done without owner approval. According to the plaintiff, the election should have resulted in a runoff, rather than a vote transfer, when President-Elect 1950minecrafter did not receive an outright majority of votes. The plaintiff further asserts that the failure of the Commonwealth to utilize the proper voting methods constitutes “outrageous conduct”, justifying over $100,000 in punitive damages.
Other such prayers for relief include humiliation damages for Vernicia’s reputation after receiving third place, emotional damages for the stress she endured, and compensatory damages to repay her the costs of campaigning. All together, the case is worth $260,000 including legal fees, making it one of the highest value cases in Redmont history.
Two hours after the original complaint was filed, the plaintiff called for an emergency injunction to halt 1950minecrafter’s ascension to the presidency, a motion that, if granted, would allow President lcn to continue managing the executive departments until a verdict can be reached.
This newest lawsuit comes just as another of Alexander Love’s cases dealing with election integrity, Patriotic Coalition of Redmont v. Commonwealth (SCR 1 2025), is nearing an end. That case, in which the PCR alleged that there were errors in counting votes for the most recent House of Representatives elections, appears to be on course for a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, with the Commonwealth conceding that the alleged errors occurred. Such a verdict would result in either the replacement of two sitting representatives with the properly elected candidates, or potentially a snap election to bring in a new House entirely.
Though Vernicia and Dragon Law assert that the discrepancy in voting methods used in the February presidential election legally invalidates the results, others question the potentially political motivations behind the filing, with Vernicia possibly seeking another shot at the presidency. Shortly after polling closed on the 10th of February, Vernicia assured members of the Redmont People’s Party, “Its fine we have plan,” and encouraged her supporters not to worry. AlexanderLove, for his part, has stated of his recent legal endeavors against the Commonwealth that his only goal is “to hold [democracy] accountable”.
Given these recent developments, the future of both the House of Representatives and the presidency seems uncertain. The Commonwealth can only watch with bated breath as the courts deliberate on the legitimacy of Redmont’s latest elections.
