2016 Gotham City Mayoral Election

History
In 2016, with the U.S. Presidential Election, Roy Westerman planed for fans to vote on the next Mayor for Gotham City. Each candidate had a electoral platform, and the result of the election would not only bring changes to the living timeline but also shape the Earth-2027 continuity.

The winner of the election was Lincoln March.

Lincoln March
CANDIDATE'S PLATFORM CANDIDATE'S CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS CANDIDATE'S ENDORSEMENTS
 * If elected, Lincoln March promises renovations to existing Gotham infrastructure, revitalizing Gotham's commercial and industrial sectors which in turn, he promises will strengthen the populace as a whole and promote increased tourism revenue.
 * Furthermore, March seeks to pursue legislation which will give the members of "Batman, Inc." and other vigilantes vouched for by the GCPD legalized recognition as full citizens of Gotham to allow them to testify in court, enact full arrest powers, and be subject to oversight from a committee made up of members from the Gotham City Council, which would be chaired by new GCPD Commissioner Ellen Yin.
 * March's pick for Commissioner is certainly controversial given Yin's youth and lack of experience, but March promises that fresh, progressive thinking is the key to a brighter Gotham.
 * Finally, March seeks to tear down Arkham Asylum and remove all correctional facilities from Gotham's City limits, instead suggesting that a new Blackgate Prison be built in Blüdhaven using state of the art security measures and cutting-edge medical facilities; adding that he would also see to it that the new facility employed all current Arkham staff who wish to continue their employment.
