Romgate is a series of events that ended up subsequently leading to an investigation and the LTE Civil War and a cold war. Most of the events occured on December 16, 2018, the day after the December 2018 elections.

Soon after the elections, Romulus had told several people that he had used multiple alts to commit voter fraud for Paul, to purposely allow chaos to ensue as Romulus had thought another term with Paul as president might be enough to make LTE collapse. These allegations resulted calls for Paul to allow an investigation to ensue although Paul has been seen by his opponents as 'reluctant and manipulative' to do so. Northeast election results were uncertified the day after they were released whereas the West region was already due for a runoff due to a tie in the PV between the write-in campaign Mat/Dil and Paul.

Some of the first officials to comment on this were Northeast governor candidate Whale and Northeast governor-elect, Mystic, the governor-elect had to say 'I am calling on the Romgate investigation to be completed in 48 hours to make this election less chaotic.' Around the same time, LTE Attorney General Friday said to have found multiple actions of election fraud, threats, and leakage.

Democratic presidential candidate, Tanisha reported 'I am calling on a full investigation on the potential Romulus alts to be completed in whatever time necessary. I would encourage this to finish before the presidential inauguration next week. Since this is Romulus, we should not completely believe what he said, but we should also not ignore his claim of alts in the Northeast and West.'

Quite soon after, a special counsel was formed and a formal investigation began.

Just half an hour later, LTE II, a breakaway server from LTE created by Romulus was raided after Adam, a moderator on the server encouraged the raid by giving everyone administrator powers. The server is thought to be destroyed and non functioning now and less than ten minutes later, political party servers connected to LTE II were raided and destroyed quickly. People who took part in these raids are known by some as 'OG Raiders,' and some have even called for presidential medals to be given to these dozen or so people, this is quite controversial however as LTE never officially declared war against LTE II. Within several hours, Romulus surrendered to forces from LTE and the Federalist Militia.

AGS, Federalist Militia, Raid Server, TBA.

During the end of the feuds and war with AGS, Socialist attempted to create a peaceful environment by trying to gain a members trust, this however was considered by many to be treasonous. Socialist said 'I posted the link to gain there trust, no one from there joined, InjunsForTrump told me to as it was a joke server. I did nothing treasonous or illegal.'

At the end of that night senator-elect Vui was declared dead by Northeast Secretary of State-elect, Biden although he will be posthumously sworn in as senator.

The following day governor candidate, Whale commented on the electoral fraud and subsequent events 'A lot has happened since election day. We still aren't sure if our election process was tampered with, we've raided a server, and war has plagued us. We've learned that there are forces out to threaten our way of life- and they have tried to take over what keeps us running- the votes. I am calling for a new election in Northeast and West, and I ask you to join me. We have the ability to be stronger than anything that tries to harm us, but we can only do it together, as one Northeast, one server, one America. With everything between us, it's important to trust each other during these times. Thank you.'
