President
Co-Leaders Jack Kelley & Jon Wascher both ran for President as part of the peace treaty that ended the Waffle Nation Clubs Civil War. Incumbent President John Henry Tasset could not run under Rainbow Nation's original constitution, which also stated that Tasset could not vote in Presidential elections. Early on in the race, Kelley claimed that Tasset, who was collecting and counting votes, was committing fraud. Even with this, at the end of the final day of voting, Kelley had won the election with a vote of 18-17. However, Tasset made a change to the constitution that day giving him two votes, giving Wascher the win 19-18. Nearly two years later in 2018, Tasset would admit to committing election fraud in the election and that Kelley actually should have won with about 2/3 of the vote.
