Postal votes as they stand:
Ruby Red votes for Ruby Red in Mayfair Club
Hebichan votes for Ruby Red in Turns out I'm an idiot lol.
Tazaro votes for FIGHTING DREAMERS in Turns out I'm an idiot lol.
Personal predictions:
mutant takes Central Park 2-1 because lol it's a district with 2 masons in it
FIGHTING DREAMERS take mayfair club 2-1
Turns out I'm an idiot lol. will be a hard fought FIGHTING DREAMERS win due to mafia involvement
Coney Island will be a FIGHTING DREAMERS win because of mafia voting them in as well
Wheme park
leading to a FIGHTING DREAMERS majority of 3 districts."As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

Most votes are as expected so far but mutant is voting skitter30 and Aronis is seriously considering voting Harambe. FIGHTING DREAMERS might be taking a 4th district, possibly on a tie that will pretty much always get broken in their favour."As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

Oh shit
Mafia done goofed in Turns out I'm an idiot lol.
Edosurist
Tazaro
Hebichan
Myloninja13
Ruby Red
Edosurist has been prodded and I might need to replace him but I'm not optimistic about getting replacements quickly but he's gonna be a no vote
Tazaro committed fraud to vote FIGHTING DREAMERS twice
Hebi committed fraud to vote for FIGHTING DREAMERS and Ruby Red
Myloninja voted Whemestar
Ruby Red voted Ruby Red
In other words- because edosurist isn't around, it should be super obvious that someone has committed electoral fraud in a dodgy way and voted two different candidates."As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

Tazaro vigs the worst
zMuffinMan bodyguards the worst
Scum kills zMuffinMan
Net result: Only zMuffinMan dies
Scum get a load of responses from the opinion poll which was:
1. Who did you vote for president yesterday?
2. Who do you want to be president tomorrow?
3. Who are your top two scumreads?
4. If you were president, who do you lynch tomorrow?

The true art of this game is the not-so-subtle-but-enveloped-in-a-mafia-game-so-you're-not-looking-for-it commentary on the American political system though
Worth noting that the electoral college system is plagued by gerrymandering. It's unquestionably a bad thing for democracy for exactly the reasons that it gives scum an edge in this game. Just, in real life it's the political elite who do the gerrymandering."As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

A quick google on your behalf gives you this
It pretty much just goes back to America's founding fathers though and nobody would change it because the system kinda benefits the two parties of the two party system which will probably never relinquish the power it gives them"As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

You might be thinking "Gee, jjh927 sure is talking out of his ass. Nobody's changing the borders of places" but it's the way these things were originally set up and general political sentiment tied to locations still carries from hundreds of years ago"As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

Gerrymandering is just a general thing with any kind of regional based voting system
From wikipedia:
The word gerrymander (originally written Gerry-mander) was used for the first time in the Boston Gazette on 26 March 1812. The word was created in reaction to a redrawing of Massachusetts state senate election districts under Governor Elbridge Gerry (/ˈɡɛri/; 1744–1814). In 1812, Governor Gerry signed a bill that redistricted Massachusetts to benefit his Democratic-Republican Party. When mapped, one of the contorted districts in the Boston area was said to resemble the shape of a mythological salamander.[6]
There is no argument for it being a good thing and to my knowledge it doesn't happen in America any more. It's just a thing that some people in positions of power do to secure more power"As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

Okay so pre-election analysis
Central Park
123456789
Firebringer
Invisibility
Ausuka
This is ostensibly a 1-1-1-1 split district. Invisibility probably decides it if scum realise that it's very split. Might even give it to whemestar if they do because invisibility has hardly posted and can justify it.
Mayfair Club
ofrhz
Not Known 15
Ruby Red
This is gonna go to mutant 2-1, probably. Ruby red can only vote in 1 district unless she postal votes before the deadline.
The greatest city in the World!
Hebichan
Myloninja13
skitter30
Aronis
Skitter is gonna lolvote whemestar and whemestar takes it 2-1-1
Coney Island
Ruby Red
Wraith
Blind Bandits
Firm 2-1 ruby red district.
Theme Park
the worst
Tazaro
mutantdevle
Whemestar
Highly split district but the worst probably votes mutant over himself, mutant could vote anywhere but probably votes himself seeing as he has a shot this time, tazaro has already submitted a postal vote for Aronis and will probably fraud for that purpose.
Personal prediction is a 2-1-1-1 to Aronis but there's 2 people I can't really predict in the midst so it's up in the wind.
Final result: I think either Wheme takes it 2-1-1-1, or Ruby Red goes 2-1-1-1 after Blind Bandits settle the central park tie. But mutant could make it to 2 districts based on the final district, so it might end up being a 2-2-1 coalition between either wheme or ruby and mutant.
It's worth noting that the final district does not have a ruby red voter within it, meaning if it ties up then who knows where blind bandits settle the tie. This will be yet another closely fought election, but with voter histories and more allegiances known it is easier to predict than the first."As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle- jjh927

Votes so far!
Central Park
123456789 -ruby red (postal)
Firebringer
Invisibility
Ausuka -ruby red (reg)
Looks like a ruby red district
Mayfair Club
ofrhz -mutant (reg)
Not Known 15 -mutant (reg)
Ruby Red
This is 100% going to mutant as anticipated
The greatest city in the World!
Hebichan
Myloninja13 -myloninja13 (reg)
skitter30
Aronis - Aronis (reg)
??? This is up in the air rn. This was previously gonna be a wheme district but wheme crashed and burned. It's in scum's hands
Coney Island
Ruby Red
Wraith -whemestar (reg)
Blind Bandits
Well, ruby red and blind bandits haven't actually voted yet so WHO KNOWS, maybe whemestar takes it- but it's probably a Ruby Red district because if it's a tie then blind bandits give it to ruby
Theme Park
the worst -mutant (reg)
Tazaro - Aronis (postal)
mutantdevle -mutant (reg)
Whemestar -whemestar (reg)
Mutant takes this one unless Tazaro frauds for Aronis and blind bandits pick them. But that won't happen because they almost certainly pick mutant there every time.
I am personally gonna predict 3 to mutant and 2 to ruby, especially since that will further emphasise the efficacy of these mechanics by basically creating a close-fought 2-party system despite that not being anyone's intention. I think scum will try to avoid voting for Ruby in that critical third district, The greatest city in the World!, because last time there was a tie it was broken in favour of Ruby and I don't think they actually want Ruby elected. However, if it does tie up, it'll end up being 3 to Ruby and 2 to Mutant. Either way, it's gonna be 3-2."As best I can tell, jjh is some kind of wizard with mind control powers." -Jingle - jjh927
