Wouldn't the miners make a significant voting bloc?

They could well be, either way they will have to be considered both as voters and as a section within society who's original role is gone (but not necessarily with skill sets that aren't of use, see above)

One assumes all the miners were at the new year's celebration, and there wasn't teams on site when it all happened.

Hard to choose, but I voted for Elias.

Smith as described seem dangerous.
Moore would be a logical choice for a coalition leader, but Elias has a point : Monster around, No food supply and no support = need for an (hopefully temporary) general conscription. The delays and compromises inherent in a coalition approach may prove deadly.
Of course, hopefully it will be a Cincinnatus, not a Maximinus.

The "access to magic" bit may change everything, of course ... any more details on that point ?

Edit : forgot to add that this seem like an awesome campaign !

My knee jerk would be voting for the incumbent.

However, what are people talking about in the Saloons?

Or what do the women think (although they have no vote).

BTW is this akin to the 1632 novels?

This led me to checking on how new year's used to be celebrated- I'm sure it hasn't always been the over-the-top affair we have now- and thus learnt about Watchnight.

Don't know if it'd be at all useful, but perhaps it could add an interesting twist to who was where when the town slipped dimensions.

This kind of reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Humanity suddenly finds itself down to a precious few. Put that military man in charge!
