On the same day, accusations emerged that 010camaro had been trying to bribe voters with promises of video games, beer and women. He denied that he'd promised to actually deliver these things, however expressed his personal belief in them and implied he would seek to fulfill such promises if the need arose. | 010camaro published his [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-3445420|campaign platform]] on July 15, listing a series of conservative policies, promising to pass an Endangered ASB Act and to work toward rehabilitating Sandbox's relations with AH.com at large.

| In the Congressional race, candidates from five political parties registered within the first couple of days: the [[Socialist Dreamers Party]], the [[New Imperial Party]], the [[Royalist Party]], the [[Somalia Party]], the [[Motionlessness Party]], and the [[Communist Confederate Cthulhu Party]]. Alongside them were numerous independent candidates. The [[Socialist Dreamers Party]] proved popular early on and, by July 17, appeared well on its way to winning a plurality of seats. Several of the smaller parties struggled to win over as many members, though. In a bid to attract more members, the [[Motionlessness Party]] briefly changed its name to the [[New Keep Everything the Way It Was Party]]. The Motionlessness Party ultimately merged with a second small party, the [[Communist Confederate Cthulhu Party]], to form the [[Motionless Cthulhu Party]]. The [[Don't Give a Damn Party]] joined the race on July 17. | In the Congressional race, candidates from five political parties registered within the first couple of days: the [[Socialist Dreamers Party]], the [[New Imperial Party]], the [[Royalist Party]], the [[Somalia Party]], the [[Motionlessness Party]], and the [[Communist Confederate Cthulhu Party]].
