Well, you did it. You finally did it, you wild and uncontrollable history lovers! This week's vote resulted in a perfect tie for Teddy Roosevelt and the Articles of Confederation. So let's have a run-off!

Link: http://freeonlinesurveys.com/p/yNFo8Ed9?qid=891026

Deadline: Before midnight on Friday, November 18

The rules are different this time around: you can only vote for ONE topic. If by some chance the vote manages to tie again, James will cast the tiebreaker vote. 

P.S. Before anyone asks: yes, the vote order is randomized to keep it fair. It always is. ;)

You know, since it's a vote on US history you could do the same election committee in US does in case of tie: flip a coin.

The House votes on the topic; the Senate votes on the Walpole connection

My Anaconda Don't Want None Unless Aforementioned Anaconda was Discovered on Roosevelt's Amazon Expedition!

Joshua Kristoff

When it's this close shouldn't you just do both?

What would you do with unanimous votes, Would you refuse to ratify me? Lend me your states and I'll bargain with Spain, And I won't give up Mississippi.

That would effectively require me to suspend the voting reward for 4-5 months since the two series together would take that long to produce. I don't like suspending Patreon rewards unless it's a dire situation (this was the entire reason I removed the $10 tier this month); some patrons may be fine with it in this case, but ALL of you decided to support our $5 voting option, so I want to deliver on the promise of what that pledge tier means. Now, we will probably bring our second place option back again for another vote, but then you all WILL have to vote on it if you want to see it succeed, since I don't think voting patterns with respect to US history topics are going to entirely change in the future.

Our Country's need at last we heed, And choose a man we know, Who always stood for ev'ry good, For the people high and low; He needs no friend to recommend, He's been there once before; He's on the track and going back, This man called Theodore! Once more, once more, We want our Theodore!

Antti Björklund

Good God, my worst nightmare: both the options I voted for are in this run-off! Oh ok... Heads for Articles, tails for Teddy. *flips coin*.... Teddy gets my vote!

The Feds are gonna have their day, toniiiiight! Amending is just a delay, toniiiiight! States get away with murder! (Not quite) We must strengthen the center, Lest King George does biiite!

We're ready for Teddy again, boys, For the Extra History chair, Come lift your voice for the people's choice, A real man to do and dare! Root steady for Teddy again boys, With all your might and main; The time is right for a man to fight, We're ready for Teddy again!

The mildness of America, which the rigid discipline of the British was unable to eradicate, formed, at the same time, the most amiable, and the only defective, part of its sovereignty. Its excellent understanding was often deceived by the unsuspecting apathy of its states.

"One evening he entered Nolan's Hotel and Saloon just as two shots were fired by a drunken cowboy. The gunslinger then pointed his weapon at Roosevelt, whom he referred to as "four eyes", and demanded that he buy a drink for the entire house. Teddy laughed, which distracted the outlaw just long enough, before TR struck the desperado twice square on the jaw with left and right punches. As the man was going down, he convulsively squeezed off another shot, which missed Roosevelt. The corner of the bar met with the falling man's head and placed him into unconsciousness. The unconscious man was locked in a shed overnight until he was jailed the next day."

Never mind, Articles, it wasn't your fault. Mistrust of centralised power caused the accident. I'm sending you to Philadelphia, a fine place for sick constitutions! They'll give you checks and balances and a stronger executive. You'll feel a different document and won't need unanimous consent for amendment anymore. Won't that be nice?

Christopher Smith

Teddy the adventurer.....Teddy constant fun... Teddy the eccentric, Harvard’s magna cum laude Teddy as a Rough Rider, Teddy, President... A vigorous and kindly man And where he was, fear left....

Beneath this topic is more than flesh. Beneath this topic is an idea, Mister Roosevelt! And ideas are bulletproof!

Christopher Smith
>>3037791

If the fact that he still gave a speech with a bullet lodged in his chest untreated after an assassination attempt is any indication, Mister Roosevelt is also bulletproof!

Jack the Rat

I voted for Articles, again. I know so little about them

BrandonC

Isn't there some kind of Extra History House of Representatives that can decide this?

I didn't want to chime in earlier and interrupt your slogan/poetry battle... but GOSH DANG I enjoyed reading this.

If TR does win the vote, you just have to tell of the time he delivered a 90-minute speech with a bullet in his chest!

Christopher Smith

C'mon, lads and lasses! Today's a bully day to vote! Just a few more for Teddy!

Jon Paul Cuellar

I might not accept the results of this vote.
