== U.S. presidential election in Cascadia == | |||
The '''September 2022 United States presidential election in Cascadia''' took place on September 17, 2022, as part of the September 2022 United States presidential election, and alongside other elections in Cascadia. Cascadian voters expressed their preference for who should be elected President and Vice President of the United States of America (2022) for a one-month term via popular vote. | |||
Cascadian voters overwhelmingly voted for the Democratic-Republican ticket of [[Aurora:Alaska#The Malso Era|Alaskan]] governor Malso_ and outgoing Cascadian governor SayerQT, against the Federalist ticket of Louisiana governor Karatoss and [[Aurora:Coats|Coats]] governor Cartoon. Despite this, Karatoss would go onto win the election. | |||
This would be the last presidential election Cascadia would participate in, before the severing of ties in October 2022. It was the first (and only) one in which Cascadia participated as a state rather than a territory. | |||
