2019 Chawosaurian presidential election

The **2019 Chawosaurian presidential election** was held on Friday, October 4, 2019. This election will be aligned with the 2019 Chawosaurian elections, and the incumbent Comrade President is Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII, whose term expires on December 31, 2019, despite term limits don't exist, Montgomery will not run for reelection for a fourth term.

Due to this election being part of veteran Prime Minister Shang Jong Parker's electoral coattails, the nominee of the Communist Party USA, Francisco Dionisio Rousseff defeated the Democratic candidate Jacob Webster in a landslide victory, garnering 531 electoral votes to Webster's 7 electoral votes. This election ended the Democratic Party's dominance over the Comrade Presidency as Chawosaurian American voters desired for change after being tired of the Democrats repeatedly controlling everything since 1987.

This election marked the beginning of the end of the strength of the Democratic Party in the Western United States and recent strength in the Southern United States. The election saw the Solid West collapsing and New England changing party hands from Democratic to Communist. The Democratic Blue Wall collapsed for the first time, making the Democrats lose their first election in Chawosaurian History. Democrat Jacob Webster lost the election to a Communist was because of his centrist views, which allowed the Communist Party to sneak into the comrade presidency by winning 49 states to 1 and the District of Columbia. The Green Party nominee, Jonathan Davgon Bismarck XIII, is the 17th cousin once removed of former Comrade President Jonathan Ludwig Bismarck II. If Bismarck gets elected, he would be the 2nd or 3rd white person to get elected Comrade President. If Jacob Webster gets elected, he would become the first African American and Biracial Comrade President.

Despite the Democrats' historic loss of the Chawosaurian Presidency, they still won unified control of both chambers of the United States Congress and the White House in the 2020 U.S. elections, for the first time since 2008, though the Democrats will have the weakest federal trifecta in the party's 21st-century history ever recorded compared to that of 2009, where they had the strongest federal trifecta.

A rare election result in Chawosauria, in which a Webster has failed to win election despite name recognition, Jacob Webster is the great-grandson of Prime Minister Garfield Lucas Webster, but not a surprise result because of Jacob Webster's race, as Chawosaurian Americans are not interested in an African-American office holder, it is a true fact that there are alot of openly racist voters in the Chawosaurian world than that of the United States.

## Background

**Incumbent Comrade President**

Comrade President, **Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII**, of the Democratic Party, a prominent figure as well as a prominent member of the Montgomery Family, has been in power since April 20, 2017, the day his non-consecutive second term began, which ended on December 31, 2017, and now serving his third term, which began on January 1, 2018, and will end by December 31, 2019.

Following his third electoral victory in November 2017, Montgomery took a third term on January 1, 2018, and nine months after the beginning of his third term, the Communist Party won a sweeping victory in the 2018 Comrade Midterm Elections of September 1, 2018, and will come to power by January 1, 2019.

## Previous Election

Comrade President, Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII, ran a Democratic-Socialist campaign, and it was acceptable by 52% of Chawosaurian American voters. Montgomery lost three more states to the Green Party and the Alaskan Independence Party.

Montgomery swept the South due to his silence on Donald Trump, and the candidate of the Alaskan Independence Party, Edward Muskie, ran a Donald Trump campaign, but due to widespread Anti-Alaskan Sentiment in Chawosauria, Muskie's Alaskan origin became the factor of his loss.

Montgomery was elected to a third term (January 1, 2018-December 31, 2019).

The Green Party has already nominated a candidate, Jonathan Dragan Boleslaw. The Green Party has been rising since 2017. On December 28, 2018, Boleslaw withdrew from the race due to mental problems. The Green Party will now have to replace him in a primary process.

### Minor Parties

Minor Parties (or third parties) are parties with lower representation, but they're on the ballot. The Republican Party is being treated like a third party because of their crushing defeats in the 2017 elections.

## Results

Francisco D. Rousseff won the election by a landslide victory. Rousseff carried every state except Rhode Island and Washington DC by landslide margins (80 to 90%). Rousseff is the first person outside the Democratic Party to get elected. Rousseff was seen as the only option for change to fit the mood of Chawosaurian American voters exhausted from 22 years of Democratic rule. There were other options but the voters turned down, the Republicans' Charles Muskie was rejected due to a belief that Muskie's conservative populism meant a repeat of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, causing the voters hesitating against electing a *Donald Trump* into office, and Bismophobia prevented even Green Party voters from voting for Jonathan Davgon Bismarck XIII.

## Aftermath

Comrade President Johnathan Saint Nicholas Montgomery VII urged Jacob Webster to concede to Rousseff. At 10:30 AM, Jacob Webster announced he conceded the race. President Montgomery called to congratulate Rousseff on his landslide victory. The Websters at the Webster Manor in Anchorage were stunned by the result. Luckily for the Websters, Sydney Lucas Webster was reelected to the Chawosaurian Senate to another term, so not everything at their victory party was wasted. In the Chawopolis Palace, the Websters' preferred party, the U.S. Democratic Party, got shellacked in the Palace, losing their whole caucus to the Communist Party.

The Chawosaurian faction of the Democratic Party blamed Supreme Leader Ekewaka Mikala Kalawai'a for distancing himself from Jacob Webster. Chawosaurians who are African American Democrats accused Kalawai'a of plotting against Jacob Webster in order to stop the election of the first Black Chawosaurian head of the Chawosaurian Imperial Government. Other Democrats blamed Webster's loss on other matters. Kalawai'a responded to the criticism on November 28, 2019, saying the Democratic Party needed to start taking responsibility for their party for now on and stop throwing other people under the bus.

Ekewaka Kalawai'a criticized Jacob Webster for being too far to the center. Kalawai'a said, *"Jacob Webster made himself look like a flip-flopper to the voters"*. Kalawai'a's comments were given credibility by election analysts. Jacob Webster attacked the critics as *"Trumpists in disguise"*.

A poll taken by Chawosaurian Democratic voters revealed that they believe Jacob Webster lost because he was "too centrist" for the mainstream of Chawosaurian Politics which has always traditionally leaned leftward since World War II. Further criticism went, even more, harsher, Webster was generally seen as "a very weak candidate" and Webster was harshly criticized for *"playing nice to the right-wing extremists"*. Webster was badly attacked for failing to stick with the current political spectrum of the Empire of Chawosauria.
