Election event not firing

[History_Buff]

I am playing as the United States and I modified one of my elections to have two different people, one who is an existing candidate for President and one who I created, running against each other. When I do this, the event simply stops firing. I changed nothing but the People who are running and one of their cabinets and I do not get an error message. The Game simply acts as if the event does not exist. What is going on here.

What is the text of the event?

The original text for the event just said x-election event description and did not actually give a description as did the name of the event, both of these I changed. Other then that, the only things I changed where the candidates and the cabinet of one of the candidates. I edited an election event once before in the exact same way. and it worked fine for a little while even with my changing the description of the text for a while. After a little while however, the game just started ignoring the election event and has not stopped doing so since. The only difference was that that time both of the candidates where already existing possible candidates that simply were not slatted to run that time around.

You have not answered Quarky's question. I'm afraid to assist further, you will need to post the event text, in full, for us to read it and see what you have done.

Alright, in that case, here it is

event = {
id = 600000
random = no
country = USA
style = 0

trigger = {
government = democratic
}

name = "1956 Election: Truman Vs. Clark"
desc = "After a decade of fighting, the war against the Axis is finally bearing fruit. Truman, feeling he still had work left to do, decided to take advantage of a his exemption from the 22nd Amendment (The Amendment does not apply to the President who was in office when it was passed), he has decided to seek a thrid term. The Republicans, who have not won an election in 23 years and after getting destroyed in the Last election do not seriously believe they have a chance unless one of Truman's generals will agree to temporarily step down and run against him. Though the were unable to get their first choice, Bradley, to run, they were able to convince General Clark to run. With his wild popularity, especially among the Jewish community, that came with the liberation of Israel and his successful campaign in the Middle East, the Repblicans believe they might just pull off a win."

date = { day = 4 month = november year = 1956 }
offset = 2
deathdate = { day = 5 month = november year = 1956 }

action_a = {
ai_chance = 85
name = "Mark Clark (Rep.)"
command = { type = set_domestic which = democratic value = 10 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = political_left value = 2 }
command = { type = headofstate which = 6272 }
command = { type = headofgovernment which = 6211 }
command = { type = foreignminister which = 6215 }
command = { type = armamentminister which = 6248 }
command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 6005 }
command = { type = ministerofintelligence which = 6228 }
}
action_b = {
ai_chance = 15
name = "Harry S. Truman (Dem.)"
command = { type = set_domestic which = democratic value = 10 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = political_left value = 6 }
command = { type = headofstate which = 6034 }
command = { type = headofgovernment which = 6047 }
command = { type = foreignminister which = 6064 }
command = { type = armamentminister which = 6217 }
command = { type = ministerofsecurity which = 6005 }
command = { type = ministerofintelligence which = 6127 }
}
}
I hope that helps.
