I was going to make an image and attach it, but was not sure about the permissions. Any US government work is open soure, but the same does not seem to be true of state government work. Or is it? Marfinan (talk) 15:22, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Special Elections

@Zeddawg and GoldRingChip: According to this official page at house.gov, those elected in special elections do not take office until they are sworn in, which of course cannot happen until votes are canvassed and certified. Both of you have made edits today suggesting that Bishop took office last night.

I would suggest that if the obvious implication service begins with being "added to the rolls of the House" is correct, then the date should remain open until Bishop is officially "added to the rolls." If it is not correct, then the date should remain open until the election is certified.

I do acknowledge that "informal service" such as giving speeches and meeting constituents may begin as soon as other candidates concede, but that is not the same as formally serving in office. For topics such as this, Wikipedia is concerned with official service.

To put it another way, if something terrible were to happen and a Congressman-elect who was elected to fill a vacancy died or became incapacitated before being sworn in, he would not be on the rolls of the House at all.

@Wikiedits321: I am going to revert to this edit then restore material added later that isn't conflicting. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:52, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in North Carolina's 9th congressional district

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of North Carolina's 9th congressional district's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Generalelection":

From 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina: "North Carolina Official General Election Results". North Carolina State Board of Elections. November 4, 2014. Archived from the original on January 27, 2015. Retrieved January 23, 2015.
From 2016 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina: "North Carolina Official General Election Results". North Carolina State Board of Elections. November 8, 2016. Retrieved January 3, 2017.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:47, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
