After startling election day defeats, Feudalist Party forced to self-evaluate

WASHINGTON– Days after an astonishing election in which Feudalist Party Candidates for President, House, and Senate lost elections nationwide, Presidential Candidate Maximillian XXIII and leader of the Feudalist Party issued a concession speech.

"We were so close in just a few battleground states, and I wanted to insure that the all the votes were counted – to do otherwise would disenfranchise the millions of loyal supporters that waited in the long lines in order to vote for my party and me."

In the weeks leading up to the election, political pundits and pollsters predicted a high voter turnout that would favor the Feudalists in their bids for election. In every state except for Mississippi, however, Feudalist candidates lost by heavy margins to Republican and Democratic tickets.

Political analyst Art Vandalay told the Stoplight, "the Feudalist Party simply was not able to connect to voters at the most basic level. Their platform of abolishing income taxes, cities, last names, and generally returning to 'the good olde days' did not resonate with voters in the way they thought it would. After such clear defeats, the Feudalists are going to have to re-evaluate how they are projecting their ideas, and whether those ideas represent a significant part of the United States population."
