In issue 275, we asked readers what video game character they would elect as president, if such an absurd thing were possible. Now it's time to cast your vote.
Magazine readers delivered a landslide victory to Earth's last hope against the Reapers, Mass Effect's Commander Shepard. Other readers chose more unconventional candidates, like Sackboy (he is a builder after all), and Max Caulfield from Life is Strange (a little young, perhaps, but being able to rewind time would certainly come in handy).
Now it's your turn. Cast your ballot by sharing your pick in the comments below, and be sure to make your case for why you're not wasting your vote – this is important business! The winner will be the first candidate to receive a super majority of electoral votes, assuming he or she first attains enough delegates to win their party's nomination during the lengthy primary process, or successfully registers as an independent candidate by submitting the required amount of signatures before each state's registration deadline. So get to it – our democracy hangs in the balance!
