First in Freedom: Election Day in Fredonia

One week before TROP (The Rest of Patria) goes to the polls, today is election day in the little maverick Precinct of Fredonia. "First in Freedom", Fredonia is always the first Precinct to vote, like the little town of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire in the US presidential election. Only nine seats up for grabs, they are awarded as follows:

Amrita: 2
Chakra: 1
Green: 1
National Union: 1
Social Democrats: 2
SRM: 2

Fredonia is not always a good predictor of how the rest of Patria will vote, but if these returns hold for the other 12 Precincts, there could be a tight three-way race between the Amrita Party of Amma's devotees, Bernie Sanders-inspired Social Democrats and the "take back the economy" Patria-first SRM.

Fredonia was annexed by Patria and became the 13th and smallest Precinct following its disastrous war with Sylvania, as documented in the Marx Brothers' classic 1933 film Duck Soup. "If you think this country's bad right now just wait till I get through with it!" - Fredonia's heroic former President Rufus T. Firefly, as played by Groucho Marx.
